Brian and Natalie met while studying at Notre Dame. Both from big, Irish-Catholic, football-obsessed families, they immediately clicked. They stayed connected over the years, and when Brian found out Natalie was moving to New York City, he asked her on a date as soon as the plane landed. In their early days together in New York, they spent time going to countless concerts (s/o Brooklyn Steel), visiting all of the major art museums, and searching for the best Indian restaurant in Manhattan. In 2020, Brian and Natalie left the Big Apple to try out the "the nomad life," moving from Montana, to Utah, to Colorado, to several more short-term stays. Their mutual love of travel and adventure brought them closer together than ever. In October 2022, Brian asked Natalie to marry him while on a leaf-peeping hike in Upstate NY amongst their family and friends. We are so excited for all that is to come, and we can't wait to make it official!
