Back to where it all began...

Natalie and Nathan met in Richmond back in December 2017. Natalie was in town to celebrate the holiday with her family and went to Lunch & Supper for dinner with her friends from summer camp. The husband of one of her friends was there grabbing drinks with his Virginia Tech buddies, one of them was Nathan. After dinner, the group re-connected and started hopping around the Scotts Addition area. Nathan started talking to Natalie, but it wasn't until they went to "New York Deli" when sparks started to fly. After a few drinks and Nathan's suave dance moves, he asked Natalie for one final drink (or two) across the way and they talked into the wee hours of the morning. He ended the night asking her out for brunch the next day. Natalie didn't think she would hear from him given she was just in town for the holiday from NYC and Nathan lived in Richmond. To her delight, Nathan texted first thing the next morning and said "What time for brunch?" From then until now, they spent some time dating long distance between Richmond and NYC. Nathan joined Natalie in NYC in 2019. Once the pandemic hit in early 2020, they spent some time in the south where they added a new addition to their family, Bentley, a goldendoodle. On November 7th, 2020, Nathan popped the question to Natalie in Richmond, VA. We can't wait to celebrate with those that mean the most to us in the place where it all began...
