Eliza was born in Mandaluyong, Manila, in the Philippines, and moved just outside of Boston at 10 years old. Meanwhile, across the world, Matthew was born and raised in Sacramento, California.

As fate would have it, they met at Emerson College, where they dated for almost a year.

Life took them in different directions, but in 2019, they found their way back to each other. In many ways, it was meant to be.

Now, they live in New York with their cat, Nori, and dog, Indy.

Let's celebrate the two families and cultures joining together - mixing elements of Eliza's Filipino traditions with Matthew's Jewish heritage.
