Lexie and Matt’s love story began when they met through their roommates during the winter of 2016 at Assumption College in Worcester Massachusetts. Their relationship started off just as friends. However, Matt quickly realized how beautiful Lexie was both inside and out. Matt wanted to make sure no other guy at school was going to take her away, so he built up the courage to ask her out on their first date to the Boynton Restaurant in Worchester.

Lexie and Matt’s first date was such a hit that they quickly began exploring art galleries, festivals and parks near their campus to spend more time together. One evening unbeknownst to Matt, Lexie showed up at his hockey game, which showed him she was the real deal!

The lovestruck college students were forced to spend two summers apart due to one living in Marshfield, MA and one in Rochester, NY. The two tried to see each other as much as they could, balancing their demanding jobs while living so far apart. When Lexie came to Rochester she felt welcomed and enjoyed getting to know Matt’s family and friends. Lexie and Deb had an immediate bond when they found out they were both “South Shore Girls!”

After Matt earned his MBA, the couple moved to Natick, MA where Lexie began her Masters Program in Education. Unfortunately COVID hit and their lives changed dramatically! The young couple spent hours on end alone in a tiny apartment with their two cats Sox & Ronnie without family and friends. Lexie’s job became so stressful when she and her students were in lockdown at a special needs school. Their relationship underwent the ultimate test through COVID which made them grow closer and their love for each other grew stronger.

Fortunately things took a turn for the better! Lexie and Matt had the luxury of living in her parents beachfront home in Marshfield, where they enjoyed the picturesque ocean. After living the beach life for one year the couple had the opportunity to flip a house. Lexie and Matt worked tirelessly together with her parents to renovate the home. Lexie’s dad, Don oversaw the project while Matt and Lexie painted, installed shower doors and floors, renovated cabinets and landscaped the front and back yard. Lexie’s mom Tamra has a talent for interior design and made their new home look amazing! This challenging project was a true labor of love and together they worked as a team, with the help of Lexie’s parents they made this house their very own.

Their shared love for traveling brought them to Dubai where Matt overcame his fear of heights and proposed to Lexie in the tallest building in the world! While visiting Italy with their parents Lexie and Matt began to plan their very own dream wedding. Matt’s love for history combined with Lexie’s love for Italian culture makes Rome the perfect destination for their marriage ceremony. The couple are over the moon excited to get married at The Castle Odescalchi in Bracciano Italy. The newlyweds will disappear into the sunset on their honeymoon to a few different countries in Europe to start their married life together…
