We're getting married!

Nate and Maria met for the first time on January 6th 2024. While Maria was outside shoveling snow at Houser's, Nate was quite literally following his brothers foot steps to the store. When Maria looked up to see who was entering the store, she made eye contact with Nate. As soon as they made eye contact, Maria knew he was the one for her. Maria hurried inside after a few seconds of Nate entering the store and asked her mom (Melissa) who he was. After Melissa explained who he was, Maria was so nervous to say anything to him. So as Nate was talking to Melissa, Maria just smiled and listened. Fast forward about a month and the soon to be couple met again! Maria's sister Juliette and Nate's older brother Nick (who was also Juliette's wrestling coach at the time) set their moms up to work the concession stand. The plan was to have both Melissa and Joanna ask Maria and Nate to take their place instead, so that's exactly what they did. Now Nate and Maria were not stupid and knew the entire time what was happening, so they both agreed to the "secret" plan. Nate and Maria talked the entire time about their interests and discovered that they are very similar! Surprisingly, Maria invited Nate to sit with her family to watch the rest of the matches after they were done working in the concession stand. The next day Maria worked up the courage to text Nate and to her surprise, he answered! They texted for the whole week after that and made a plan for their first date. They went to get coffee together and Nate took her to an arcade and showed off his amazing skills at only one game. They finished the night off in Walmart so Nate could get an idea of what Maria's interests were. Ever since that day, they were together almost every day.
