Actress Brianne Howey Walked Into a Bar…and Met Her Soulmate

In series How Did You Meet?, local couples tell us how they first hooked up.

In typical times, bars can be good places to meet a mate—especially, when you happen to run into the same person three nights in a row at three different establishments around town. ⁠
⁠
That was the case for local couple Brianne (@briannehowey), 31, and Matt (@unclezito), 35. Matt, a lawyer, was celebrating after taking the bar exam, while Brianne, an actress, was out with friends. Five years later, they were about to be married and the pandemic hit. ⁠

⁠“We canceled our wedding,” says Brianne, the lead in an upcoming show called Ginny & Georgia on Netflix. “We couldn’t get married in 2020 but we did get a dog.” ⁠
⁠
The couple is hoping to tie the knot sometime in 2021. ⁠
