We're getting married!!

We met like most people meet these days, online...and during a pandemic! The night of September 13, 2020, Natalie just finished setting up a profile on Match.com, when Mike messaged her with a simple and sweet message. A couple messages later, and we had a five hour conversation over the phone and we have truly never looked back! Both of us quickly realized we have found our other half! It's been four years of love, laughter, friendly competition, and planning for our future together!

After Natalie sold her house in the summer of 2023 and moved in with Mike, both of us knew this was it and wanted to get married "at some point". We had scheduled a cruise vacation with both of our parents (Dan and Peggy, and Joan) for December 2023 - little did Natalie know everyone but her suspected Mike would be popping the question on vacation with everyone around. Turns out the ring didn't come in until after we got back from vacation so that plan didn't go through. When we got back the week before Christmas, Mike received the ring. The Wednesday before Christmas, 12/20/2023, Natalie had to go into the office for work and Mike took this opportunity to create a surprise for when she got home. Natalie walked into the house with the lights dimmed, flowers on the counter and an incredible letter from Mike ending with the question "are you ready for another adventure". Mike was waiting downstairs, where he got down on one knee and asked Natalie to marry her; she immediately said YES! One of the most incredible Christmas presents she could have asked for! We got to celebrate our engagement over the Christmas holiday with both families!

We are both so excited to plan for this big day and the best part is thinking of all our family and friends that we want to include! Your presence at our wedding means you have had some impact on each of our lives and we cannot imagine the day without you! Parents, siblings, in-laws, nieces and nephews, aunts and uncles, cousins, friends, parents of friends, Godchildren, co-workers, bowling buddies, golfing friends - we love and appreciate all of you! We hope you can all share in our wedding weekend!
