We can't wait to celebrate with you

Chapter 1: Raymond's - Natalie and John first met in 2016 at Raymond's, the restaurant where they both worked. In their casual chats during work, they came to realize that they shared a few things in common - both of them loved Jesus and led the worship at their churches! This realization led to many friendly work chats, but nothing more than that... Chapter 2: The Match-Maker - At the end of 2017, their co-worker began to secretly approach them individually to convince them that they would be a perfect match. Although this didn't lead to any immediate action, it did plant a seed of interest in both of them... Chapter 3: The Wednesday Hangs - At the beginning of 2018, Natalie began to have a huge crush on John, and unbeknownst to Natalie, John began to feel the same! These feelings led to weekly hangs, where John and Natalie played music together and talked for hours... Chapter 4: What Are We? - After 5 months of hanging out as friends, Natalie was totally confused. Did John have feelings for her, or did he see her only as a friend? One day, as they sat in Natalie's car outside of John's house, she asked him, "So, what are we exactly?" This question sparked an hour-long conversation, where John professed his feelings for Natalie and said that she was exactly the kind of girl that he had been looking for, from her love for Jesus to her curly hair! Chapter 5: The Proposal - After three and a half years of dating, John couldn't wait any longer to ask Natalie the big question. On New Years Day, John's plans were about to go down. He had planned for weeks through talking with Natalie's parents, consulting her best friends, and picking out the perfect ring. He set up a gazebo with sparkling string lights, candles, and an arch covered in white flowers. He walked Natalie up to the gazebo, got down on one knee, and asked the question. She said yes!
