Matthew and Jo met in the early months of 2015 on an online flash game, Town of Salem, and love bloomed quickly as they bonded over their mutual passion for all things nerdy. They became official in December of the same year, when Matthew came to visit London for Christmas. Since that time, they've been inseparable, visiting back and forth, and keeping web camera's on constantly to feel as though they weren't apart while they went about their daily lives. When visiting London with his mother (Jennifer) over the Christmas of 2017, Matthew proposed to Jo on New Years Eve at the River Thames, as the clock struck midnight, the fireworks ended and Auld Lang Syne started to play.
