Our Wedding

November 14, 2018. It was a snowy, cold night in Greencastle, IN – home of your DePauw Tigers. Robin Hutton and Matt Labus did not know each other that morning, but little did they know, that night would become the start of a beautiful relationship. It was a DePauw tradition to gather at The Fluttering Duck bar on Wednesday evenings. The two both made their way to the bar with separate groups of friends. Matt liked what he saw when we glanced across the bar and saw the majestic Robin Hutton sipping on her favorite drink – Tequila water. Matt, being smooth per usual, made his away across the bar to introduce himself. A few hours later, Matt managed to land her number and a kiss or two. Needless to say, both left the bar smitten, and eager to learn more about the other.

Over thanksgiving break, the two were both home and Matt took the chance to ask Robin on a date; Their first date took place on Friday, November 23rd, 2018. Matt treated Robin to her favorite sushi restaurant - Kona Grill. When the couple returned to school, they spent many nights studying for finals together and quickly realized how much they enjoyed each others‘ company.   Fast forward to Christmas break – Matt was embarking on spring semester of his senior year which would begin with a month-long trip to Australia while Robin was going to begin her junior year with a semester-long internship at Cummins in Columbus, IN.  Staring at the inevitable separation encroaching on the two, Matt decided to make the relationship official on January 2nd, 2019.

Robin and Matt enjoyed making memories on campus and they both graduated with Economics degrees and began their respective careers in Indianapolis – Matt with Eli Lilly in 2019 and Robin at JP Morgan in 2020. For the next 3 years, Robin and Matt developed their relationship further by sharing their love of attending sporting events, playing pickleball, traveling, and spending time with family and friends.

On June 18th, 2022 Matt perfectly executed his plan to propose to Robin. The day began at the Carmel farmers market where they enjoyed smoothies on the steps of the Palladium. After the farmers market, they stopped by a close friend’s open house where they celebrated a high school graduation with close friends and family. In the evening, Matt made reservations at Provision where the couple shared a romantic dinner. They had plans to have a game night with Robin’s family. Upon arriving at the Hutton household, Matt asked to take Robin on a boat ride. As the boat ride began, Matt cued up many of their favorite songs. While the couple was enjoying the beautiful night on the boat, all of their friends and family were arriving at the Hutton house to surprise Robin and celebrate the engagement. In the meantime, Matt brought the boat to the center of the lake and started to play “Buy Dirt” by Jordan Davis. Matt asked Robin to marry him and then they enjoyed a glass of champagne together on the boat accompanied by many tears of joy. After the boat ride, they were greeted by their immediate family on the dock, and then Robin was surprised with a house full of her loved ones to celebrate the engagement all night. Now they have their eyes set on July 1st 2023!
