Matt and Alex knew of each other in high school (Matt went to Notre Dame and Alex went to Sacred Heart Academy), but did not connect until Easter break of senior year of college when they ran into each other at Eli's in Hamden. They hit it off and went on a few dates over the summer, but Matt had to go back to UConn to finish up grad school and Alex was moving to NYC to begin her career, so they went their separate ways.

They stayed in touch over the next year and a half and would see each other from time to time. After running into one another at Eli's in Hamden yet again over Thanksgiving break in 2016, Matt convinced Alex to go to a New Year's Eve party as his date and the rest is history.

Fast forward to November 2019, after nearly 3 years of long distance dating, Alex moved back to CT and they moved into their first apartment in Rocky Hill. They recently bought their first home together in Wallingford in early 2021, and Matt proposed shortly thereafter.

Matt and Alex are best friends and feel so lucky to have found the sweetest, truest love in their own backyard.
