We're Getting Married!

Natasha and Ethan met on the evening of November 25, 2017. The scene was Jose and Son's locally famed Salsa Night on Saturdays in Downtown Raleigh, and neither Natasha nor Ethan knew that true love was being served that night. They both were invited out by close friends and the two new Raleighños instantly clicked. Ethan was the first to ask for a phone number, and the rest, as they say, is history. As history is not always the smoothest of tales, it did take Ethan asking out Natasha four times before her schedule freed up. Their first date was on a Thursday, with this movie night rolling into a weekend full of chicken wings, french fries, and good times. While packing on calories isn't the only thing they have in common, their second official date was attending a Lakers game in Charlotte. According to Natasha, this may have sealed the deal; according to Ethan, the deal was already sealed, but the fact that she swore that Kobe Bryant is the greatest, didn't hurt one bit. With trips to Puerto Rico and Colorado in year 2, "meeting the parents" only reinforced that this love story was meant to be. Moving in together, moving again, traveling on a whim, changing jobs, to a proper engagement. The mantra has always been to just say yes, and go with it.
