Diana and Matt met while working on a US Senate race in Manchester, New Hampshire, in 2010. What started as a strictly platonic relationship later developed into something more. They spent many hours finishing each other’s sentences, which mostly consisted of quoting movies like Wedding Crashers and The Hangover. When the campaign ended, Matt headed to DC and Diana to New York, but long hours on Amtrak kept them together. To mark the end of the “commuter” phase of their relationship, they celebrated their wedding at Union Station.
