Deep in the throes of lockdown in Summer 2020, Matt watched a rom-com and was inspired to start an OkCupid account. Despite the fact that he would not be able to leave his home for the foreseeable future, he decided to message Ben. And despite the fact that he would not be able to go an in-person date anytime soon, Ben decided to respond. They had their first date on Google Meet a week later. Weekly virtual dates and many, many text messages followed. Six and a half months later, Ben and Matt were finally able to meet in person for the first time. After three more years of holidays, vacations, dinners out, and nights on the couch, Ben proposed in their favorite spot in New York City. Matt said yes. And now you're here! We can't wait to celebrate with you.
