Matthew and Liz met in jazz band in the fall of 2018 at Kettle Moraine Lutheran High School. They became friends during all the long afternoons for jazz and pit orchestra. They were bus buddies for the band and choir trip to Disney World in 2019 and shared many laughs and fun stories. With the encouragement of a mutual friend, they started dating in May 2019 right before Liz graduated from KML. During covid, they virtually watched movies together and videochatted while playing the same games. Liz studied marine biology and Matthew studied biology at Wisconsin Lutheran College so they spent many hours in the same classes and labs. They endured physics and organic chemistry and dissected numerous animals with each other. They had the opportunity to travel to Jamaica through WLC for a study abroad program in January 2023 and enjoyed the beautiful nature and culture. They enjoy being active outside and playing two-person games. Liz and Matthew each have been through many struggles, but their love for God and each other has brought them closer through it all. They treasure their time together and with loved ones and look forward to creating more memories over the years.
