How We Met

2017-Dubuque, Iowa of all places

Matt had been working for Cottingham & Butler for 2 ½ years, while Yasi was in her Physician Assistant program at the University of Dubuque. Who would have thought their love story would start in a place like Dubuque, Iowa, population 58,000? Matt had been friends with a few of Yasi’s classmates who had sent her several snaps of Matt’s great rooftop, with views of the Mississippi River for the past year. Yasi finally got the opportunity to see this grand view one night when her classmate Taylor invited her to Matt’s going away party. Matt was excited to move back to Minneapolis to live with his best friends since kindergarten, Sam and Joey. Yasi was just excited for this view. That night as they celebrated his final weekend in Dubuque, Matt was quick to leave a great impression by buying Yasi a chili cheese dog and fries from Dawgs. Yasi also left a great impression by how much food she could eat. Little did Matt know that food was the perfect way to her heart!

The Proposal

11/11/2019-Corfu, Greece

After 2 years of long distance dating, Matt and Yasi went on a wonderful 2 week vacation to Albania and Greece. They roadtripped down the beautiful coast of Albania, and spent a few days in Corfu. On the morning of 11/11/19, Matt told Yasi "It's 11/11, make a wish." Yasi really wanted a delicious gyros, which was surprisingly challenging to find on the island. When they visited the Canal D’Amore later in the day, he asked her what she wished for and and Yasi excitingly replied "A Delicious Gyro!!" Not surprised by her wish for great food, Matt himself had made a wish that day too. He got down on one knee and wished for Yasi to say yes to forever with him. Matt moved to San Diego shortly after and they have been living the life—enjoying the sunshine, ocean, and Cali burritos-ever since. We are so excited to share this next chapter of our lives with you! See you in San Diego!
