Nate and I met when we were both working for AOL. Nate claims he noticed me wayyy before I noticed him, which is 100% true. I didn't know he existed for a long time. Our first real conversation was in the office kitchen and I remember walking away thinking, "Hmm, there might be something there!” Cut to a friendship forming and then in August of 2016, we went out on an actual date! Then ONE of us panicked about dating someone from work (Ahem... Nate) and we didn't really speak for 3 months. Nate left AOL in November of 2016 and on his last day, he asked me out again. I wasn't about to let him off that easy, so I told him, "Oh, I've heard this before, you're all talk. The ball is in your court, buddy." Not intimidated, he asked me out again a few days later and the rest is history!

Nate proposed to me in front of the restaurant in Venice where we had our official first date. He got down on one knee at the exact spot where we had our first kiss. It was so special and intimate. (Except for an "over-served" onlooker offering support from the sidelines!). We had reservations at the restaurant for our 2nd anniversary, so after I said yes, we got to sit, eat, talk, and celebrate what the future holds! We are so excited to spend our lives together and feel incredibly lucky to have found each other.
