The Office

As the holiday season of 2015 approached, Deanna Reiss found herself on a new team at work with a new project that she was stuck on. Looking through the list of available colleagues on Skype, Matt Emminger's name popped up as online. She pinged him, asking a question, and that is the beginning of their love story.

The Bar

A few months later, Deanna and Matt grabbed a drink at a local watering hole in Brighton, MA. They unintentionally stayed until closing, chatting, sipping beers, and playing darts. They look back on this as their first official date.

The Travel

Over the years, Matt and Deanna shared lots of exciting experiences. They enjoy golfing together, dining out around Boston, but mostly, they loved to travel together. It started with their first trip to Portland, Maine, and has expanded to incorporate Las Vegas, California, the Caribbean, and Europe, just to name a few! Despite Deanna’s fear of flying, Matt is always sitting next to her, holding her hand, excited for their next adventure.

The Proposal

In July 2019, the Emmingers went on a family trip to Ireland. They spent the time exploring the country, drinking Guinness, and golfing. On the final day of the trip, while enjoying a sunny, 70-degree day in Dublin, Matt got down on one knee and told Deanna he wanted her to be an official part of the family. They'll have their wedding in Albany on June 11th, 2022.
