Wedding: Urban-Masso

Mr. and Mrs. Matthew Masso
Nicole Urban and Matthew Masso were married on Saturday, April 24, at St. Bernard Catholic Church in Madison. The Rev. Michael Klarer performed the ceremony. The bride is the daughter of Paul and Kay Urban of Monroe. The groom is the son of Michael and Suzanne Masso of Cherry Hill, N.J.

The bride works in the Advertising group at Estée Lauder in Manhattan and is a graduate of the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

The bridegroom is a vice president in the Global Markets group at Bank of America Merrill Lynch in Manhattan. He graduated cum laude from Wake Forest University.

Even though the couple live and work in New York, they met through a fortuitous tie to Wisconsin. The bridegroom's mother grew up in Manitowoc, WI; his parents also went to college in the state and were married there.

The couple met through Matthew's godmother. She was neighbors with Nicole's old roommate, a fellow Badger alum, and after suggesting three times that Matthew meet up with her and her friends, he reluctantly obliged and set up a meeting.

The night they met, the girls arrived an hour and a half fashionably late. Luckily Matthew waited patiently because he and Nicole had an instant connection. They soon discovered that they had lived and worked on the same block as one another for years but hadn't crossed paths until now. The rest, as they say, is history.
