Matthew Pate and Christine Hall
Jan 28, 2022
Matthew Pate and I met in Racer Band in 1996 and went out on our first date a year later. Even though we were in different majors鈥攈im engineering physics and me journalism鈥攚e ended up spending a lot of time together as members of the music fraternities, Phi Mu Alpha and Sigma Alpha Iota. After graduation, Matt moved to Houston for work, and I went to graduate school in Ohio. We were long-distance for two years, but kept going strong. Matt proposed in late 2000, and we were married in Lexington in May 2002. In 2020, we will celebrate 18 years of marriage! We have two children in middle school. We returned to 糖心logo入口 State last November for the Racer Band reunion, and it was amazing to walk around the place where we fell in love 23 years earlier!
