Matt and Rachel met the modern way, through Hinge, when Matt connected with Rachel’s prompt “you like being active and trying new forms of exercise.” If you know the two as individuals or as a couple, you know this describes them well. They quickly grew close over long walks after dinner, runs together on the lake front path, bouldering, hiking, and Matt even convinced Rachel to try skiing (once, and probably never again). The couple brings a balance to one another, with Matt’s patient listening, and Rachel’s thoughtful questions, they bring out their best sides in one another. As the years have passed they’ve adventured to many mountain tops, seen their fair share of wins and losses at Wrigley together, and enjoy exploring wineries and breweries. Once the two got engaged, they knew they wanted to get married at a venue that captured who they are, and so they stumbled upon their venue, Acquaviva Winery. They’re so excited to celebrate this milestone with those they love most, and are ready to embark on their next adventure together: marriage.
