How The Couple Met
“We met through mutual friends down at the Jersey Shore! Every summer, our friends would do summer share houses in Manasquan, NJ, and Matt was in my friend Spencer’s (who later became our wedding officiant) share house. Our groups spent a lot of time together during the summer of 2019, but it wasn’t until February 2020, just as the pandemic was beginning, that we officially started dating. Our first date was in NYC—on the very last weekend before the world shut down!” – Dominique (bride)
