Nate and I met January of 2023 in Charlotte, North Carolina. It was Nate's first night in the city and it was my first night out with friends since moving in September. We somehow both found ourselves standing in line for the bar at a little spot called the Thirsty Beaver Saloon. He turned around from the bar and accidentally stepped on my boot, spilling his drink on me in the process. I know... rookie move. We proceeded to trade sarcastic insults, my love language, which sparked immediate interest. Later in the night we started up another conversation by the pool tables and Nate joined us for the remainder of the night out. We debate who made the first move but I did give him my phone number before he asked for it (so I'm right). The next day he asked me on our first date and the rest is history. Friends and family are incredibly important to us, a few of you even had a hand in our meeting. We are so grateful for all of you and excited to celebrate this November.
