Couple of The Month
08-08-11 Couple of the Month
Couple: Michelle & Matthew
Married: August 6, 208
After last week’s “Dinner for Two Please!”, a post about a husband who surprised his wife by bringing her back to The Foundry, people wondered who this couple was! So naturally, we made them our Couple of The Month, and had them answer some of your burning questions…
How did you meet? We met the first day of college at Rutgers University . We were paired up in an icebreaker game as "Bert and Ernie." We hit it off right away and got to know each other throughout our first year at college. We started dating a few months later.
What's life been like since? Life has been great! We live in Manhattan with our dog and have spent the last three years enjoying all that the city has to offer. We have had a chance to do some traveling, relaxing and enjoying being newlyweds.
Matthew, what made you decide to surprise Michelle the way that you did? My original plan was to shut down Times Square and have the dinner in the middle of the street while the Naked Cowboy serenaded us. For some reason, City Hall refused, and I couldn't get the permit.
Michelle, what was your reaction to Matthew's surprising you at The Foundry? Stunned! I was so touched and immediately started crying. It was fun to be back at The Foundry, and I couldn't believe that Matt had made such a special night for me. I'm a very lucky girl.
What's next for you guys? We are very excited to be expecting our first child in January. The fun begins!.
