Tiara decided to get an extra job working at an Italian Restaurant and met Nathan who was the kitchen manager. Together they helped plan the theme for the staff holiday party and became friends. After Christmas Nathan and Tiara realized they had a lot in common and decided to plan a spontaneous trip to Costa Rica and went in March of 2018. The rest in history!
After an incredible and romantic year together traveling and growing together, Nathan and Tiara decided to move to Portland Oregon. Nathan wanted to strengthen their relationship and waited until they visited Tiara's family in Pilar New Mexico. On Thanksgiving morning, Nathan and Tiara took a hike up to a large boulder covered in petroglyphs that over looks the Rio Grande. Tiara climbed up on top of the rock and turned to find Nathan kneeling in front of the ancient stone. He asked the spirit of Tiara's father for his blessing as Tiara sat and cried and then he finished by asking for Tiara's hand to climb up on top of the boulder.
