Our story began in Philadelphia in 2021, when Savannah moved to the city to attend physical therapy school at Thomas Jefferson University, alongside her West Chester University roommate Meagan, who was starting occupational therapy school at Temple University. Thanks to Meagan’s now-fiancé (shoutout to David!), Savannah was set up on a date that started with tacos and margaritas at El Vez. The following weekend, they spent Halloween together, in costume on a city-wide bar hop. They hit it off instantly, and what started as a fun night quickly turned into something more. Matt began driving every single weekend to North Philly to visit—bravely passing cars with bullet holes and occasionally hearing gunshots along the way—all because spending time together was absolutely worth the risk. Weekends were filled with trying new restaurants, cheering on Philly sports, and hanging out with friends downtown in Center City. The couple officially started dating a few weeks after Halloween, on November 18th, 2021 after an Asian fusion dinner date at Sampan. The following year, Savannah moved to Manayunk, just five minutes away from Matt in Roxborough, which meant nearly every day was spent together, and consisted of trying new recipes, binging Netflix shows, exploring the town of Manayunk, and going for walks along the local hiking trails. After Savannah graduated with her DPT from Jefferson, the couple moved to Glen Mills where they started officially living together. In November 2025, Matt went on a work trip to Switzerland and insisted that Savannah come along. At the end of the trip, Matt proposed in Lauterbrunnen in the Swiss Alps! The celebration continued with wine on the hotel balcony and FaceTiming family and friends to share the exciting news. We can’t wait to celebrate our big day with all of you! We hope you can make it!!
