The Fairchilds

Before Adam moved back to Tennessee from Aspen, his sister-in-law, Kristen, mentioned to Natalie that her brother-in-law would make a great boyfriend for her. Natalie laughed it off—until Adam became her coworker. Their first real interaction was at a group lunch for the NFL playoffs in January 2022. Natalie arrived last, and the only seat left was next to Adam, who barely spoke. She assumed he wasn’t interested, but he was just nervous. Over the next few months, they kept showing up to the same group events. By November, they were finally flirting. After a group dinner, Adam invited Natalie to hang out while petsitting for Kristen and Drew. A few weeks later, on December 23, 2022, Natalie’s friend Ashley pushed her to admit she was ready for something serious. Luckily, Adam had already decided he wasn’t letting her go. Two years later, on December 23, 2024, Adam proposed on a sunset walk at Natalie’s parents' house, with Duke and her childhood dog, Wilson, by their side—a simple, perfect moment she had always wanted.
