We met as mutual volunteers with the American Chemical Society. Natalie was a member of the Younger Chemists Committee (YCC) and Matt came to a meeting hoping to join. Natalie remembers Matt's infectious extroversion. After Matt was appointed, they spent a few years working closely together in this capacity before realizing that they were meant to be more than friends!
Matt, recognizing that Natalie does not like to be embarrassed, planned an intimate proposal at home after a fun Valentine's date. It took us a while to get our planning on, but we're so excited to celebrate this next chapter in our lives with you! See you in Scituate!
