Philadelphia, PA: It was a hot, sweaty day in 2015. Natalie had just finished packing her backpack for the first day of medical school (it was two days away but she wanted to be prepared) and decided to check out McGillin's Olde Ale House for an orientation event. Sitting by the extremely sticky bar was Zach. They bonded over having both gone to Penn and shared their trepidation about starting school. It was friendship at first sight- he accidentally called her Nicole for almost a week and she put his name in her phone as "McGillin's Guy." As the weeks went on, they continued to grow close. They learned each other's names over cadavers in anatomy class, discovered they're equally competitive over mini golf games and weekly quizzo sessions, and discussed life goals on long walks to Washington Park during study breaks. Two years later they started dating and in October of 2022, Zach took Natalie back to Washington Park and got down on one knee. The rest is history.
