Our story began with a simple swipe that turned into something special. From our first brunch in West Hollywood in 2021 (masks and all) to long walks in the Palisades Park, where Mat would later propose, our story has been full of laughter, love, and a few perfectly shaken martinis.

Mat is our calm and steady captain, and Shelley is our creative hostess of the mostest and chef extraordinaire. We bring warmth and fun to each other’s lives. Together, we love traveling—whether it’s Rio, Argentina, or a quick escape to Los Olivos—discovering new restaurants (and returning to favorites like R&D), and strolling along beach piers wherever we find them.

We’ve built a full life of laughter, love, and adventure. We can’t wait to celebrate this next chapter with our family and friends!
