Hopefully after 13 years you know the story! If not, here it is summed up into a few words... Natalie & William met in high school. Yes, high school sweethearts! Despite going to different schools, the two somehow ended up in the same drivers ed class at St. Joes. Through conversation in class they figured out just how small of a world it is. Natalie`s very first friend in Chicago, Vanessa, was Williams cousin on his grandfathers side of the family. They had likely been in the same room at times and never knew it until they met at St. Joes! From there on Natalie & William just clicked and spent A LOT of time together. From St. Joes baseball games, the Nowak`s pool, family parties, and their circle of friends merging, the two were pretty inseparable. Since then 13 years have passed and the two have already grown through so much life together and can`t wait to begin this next chapter of their life!

Surrounded by their family & friends in their hometown, Chi City, William finally proposed! It was during Natalie & Aea’s birthday party at the J. Parker rooftop overlooking their old stomping grounds, Lincoln Park, that William decided to steal the spotlight. During their group picture & champagne toast William turned around, got down on one knee, and through tears and all the emotions asked Natalie to marry him! Most of the party was in tears and some in shock, but overall was just a special moment that led to the best night of dancing and celebrating!
