Our Story

The story begins in Reading, MA 1999. Caitlin was new to the Birch Meadow Elementary school, and found herself in Mrs. Feagley's 3rd grade classroom, alongside Matthew. The two circled around one another during classes, at local rock shows, and spent time connecting during after-school activities with the RMHS Drama Club.

Matthew and Caitlin remained connected through social media while Caitlin studied Theatre in NYC and while Matthew studied Psychology in Lowell, MA. One fateful night in 2022, while Caitlin was attending a family member's performance, Matthew struck up a conversation with Caitlin about the show, leading to a big question, a weeknight reservation at a local cocktail bar, and now...a wedding.

The couple quickly realized the love they held for one another as they spent the next 11 months traveling, baking bread, exercising, learning Spanish, and playing music together. With Matthew "officially" moving in with Caitlin in August 2023, the two took another step forward in their relationship, even adding another pet frog to their family.

On December 23, 2023, Matthew took Caitlin out to celebrate their one-year anniversary. He had planned a day of antiquing and record shopping on the north shore of Massachusetts, concluding with a "spontaneous" golden-hour walk along Ipswich's Crane Beach. As the sun set, and actual horses trotted by, Matthew took a knee and asked Caitlin another big question: "Will you marry me?" (She said yes.)

Caitlin and Matthew are thrilled to start their new adventure together. They are looking forward to joining their two families and celebrating their love on June 1, 2025. Catthew (or Maitlin) enjoy spending time with their pets (Dogs - Archie and Oliver, and Cat - Puck) their 80+ houseplants (yes, 80+), and hanging out with their friends and families.
