Zoë and Matt were set up on a blind date by Matt's cousin, Jessica, who Zoë met playing tennis in middle school. Zoë and Matt's first date was at a restaurant, Banc, on 4/22/2018. They went on their first vacation together, to Cape Cod, that summer. One COVID isolation, two apartments, three job changes, and four years later, Matt proposed to Zoë at the New York Botanical Garden on 7/9/2022.
