We met during Sophomore year in high school in math class. Mr. Acuna sat everyone in two-person tables by alphabetical order by last name. ...Malugani and Mariani.... of course we sat at the same desk together. The rest was history.
On Matthew's 26th birthday, we were in Austin, Texas at a rooftop bar celebrating his birthday with his brothers Chris and Paul, and Sophia, Chris' girlfriend. We all went to a little part of the bar where it overlooks the city of Austin to take some photos of Chris and his girlfriend, Sophia. Matt then asked me to take a couple photos and I reluctantly did so. (Not a photo taker) It was the fourth or fifth photo when Matt dropped to his knee. With tears down everyone's' face, I said "Yes!" and we were engaged. We're so excited to celebrate this next chapter in our lives with you. See you in Santa Rosa!
