Matthew and Marcella met on June 3, 2022 at Red Rock Saloon in downtown Milwaukee. The night was perfect...Matthew was out looking for his friend Chris and Marcella and friends were out after a Phoebe Bridgers concert. After getting to know each other, Matthew popped the question to Marcella on the dance floor. The end. Well, not actually, but Matthew did 'propose' to Marcella that night, which ended up coming very full circle.

Once they officially started dating in July, Marcella was living in the Cheese Capital of the USA (Monroe, WI) for an internship, but she'd travel back to Milwaukee to spend time with Matthew. In fall of 2022, Marcella transferred to UW - Milwaukee to finish her Master's Degree.

Matthew proposed to Marcella (for real this time) on May 18, 2024 at one of her favorite places, the shore of Lake Michigan. They celebrated by spending time with family, visiting the Juneau Park Beer Garden, and enjoying dinner with loved ones.

They are so excited to begin their lives together with all of their loved ones there to help celebrate. They are so thrilled to celebrate with everyone soon!
