Greta moves to the UK to marry Matthew: bar status, UK licensing hurdles, living with his parents, and Hazel’s care plan—all from S7E2.

What happens when a bold swipe on a vegan dating app snowballs into a cross‑continental romance? That’s the question at the heart of Greta and Matthew’s story. From Oxford palace dates to daily long‑distance calls, their relationship moved quickly from quirky beginnings to a life‑changing commitment. But moving abroad isn’t just about romance—it means career sacrifices, family living arrangements, and even saying goodbye to a beloved pet. This recap unpacks how their journey is unfolding in Season 7, Episode 2 on 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way.

Who They Are

In this season, viewers meet Matthew, 26, from Market Harborough, England, and his fiancée Greta, 27, from Norman, Oklahoma. Matthew works in finance and proudly calls himself a bit of a nerd, enjoying hobbies like building intricate models. Greta, on the other hand, has just finished law school, passed the bar a few months ago, and hopes to focus her career on animal law. She’s been vegan for seven years and shares a close bond with her cat, Hazel.

How They Met

Their story began on a vegan dating app—something Greta jokingly refers to as “vegan Tinder.” While attending a summer program at Oxford, she had just two weeks left before returning to the U.S. Instead of waiting, Greta boldly messaged Matthew first. Nervous about the date, Matthew came prepared with index cards filled with questions to keep their conversation flowing.

Their first meetings were anything but ordinary. They explored an English palace, stayed in a centuries‑old hotel, and even found themselves debating economics late into the night. Greta noticed how closely Matthew listened and how open he was to her ideas, which made her feel truly heard and understood. That combination of intellectual curiosity and attentiveness sparked something different for her—an emotional connection she hadn’t felt in past relationships.

Once Greta returned to the U.S., the connection only grew stronger. They spoke every day, often for hours, closing the gap of distance with constant calls. Greta, who had struggled to build long‑lasting relationships before, found that Matthew brought out a new level of trust and security. After about eighteen months of long‑distance visits, Matthew proposed during one of her trips, and Greta said yes. What began as a chance encounter on a niche app had developed into a serious and lasting commitment.

Preparing for the Big Move

As S7E2 unfolds, Greta is just two weeks away from relocating to England. The couple won’t immediately have their own place; instead, they will live with Matthew’s parents. Their home is modest, with only one and a half bathrooms, no bathtub, and a kitchen where meat is frequently cooked. For Greta, who has long embraced a vegan lifestyle, this will be a major adjustment. Still, she and Matthew see the arrangement as a temporary step until they can afford their own home.

Career Hurdles

Despite graduating from law school and passing the bar, Greta faces an uncertain career transition. Her U.S. license doesn’t transfer to the UK, so she’ll need to complete an additional qualifying exam and an expensive prep course before she can practice law again. In the meantime, she plans to volunteer at an animal advocacy group to stay connected to her passion.

Saying Goodbye to Hazel

One of the hardest sacrifices Greta faces is leaving behind Hazel, her 11‑year‑old cat. Because Matthew’s parents already have pets and Hazel doesn’t do well around other animals, bringing her to the UK right away isn’t possible. Greta arranges for trusted friends to care for Hazel and even organizes a professional photoshoot to capture keepsakes of their bond before the move.

Family Living Concerns

Greta is honest about why moving into Matthew’s parents’ home makes her anxious. When she was five, her mother passed away, and later life with her father and stepmother was often tense. She learned to cope by “making herself small” to avoid conflict, and now she worries about how she will handle family routines, shared spaces, and small talk in a household setting. This personal history shapes her concern that living with in‑laws might be overwhelming.

Support Back Home

In Los Angeles, Greta has built a support system she calls the “Wives Club” or “Grandma Club” with her closest friends. They share hobbies like knitting, crocheting, tea drinking, and even opera lessons. Before her departure, they create a bracelet for her as a reminder of their friendship. During their conversations, they voice real concerns about her challenges ahead: living without a license to work, sharing space with in‑laws, and adjusting to a different culture. Greta listens, but reassures them she’s committed to Matthew and willing to face the challenges.

Balancing Doubts and Love

Greta acknowledges her tendency to spiral into overthinking, even about small details—like noticing mismatched socks during a video call with Matthew. But her real anxiety comes from bigger issues: rehoming Hazel, giving up her U.S. career, and living in a crowded home. Despite these fears, she emphasizes her love for Matthew and her determination not to miss the chance to build a future with him. Matthew, meanwhile, shows a steady commitment and readiness for this new stage of their lives.

Looking Ahead

The episode hints at a complication: Greta believed Matthew already had an apartment ready, but learns that isn’t the case. Their stay with his parents could stretch longer than expected, testing Greta’s nerves about family living and adding another layer of uncertainty to their journey.
