Jessica and Nate met in January, 2018. Nate's friend Robin was having a going away party for his mom and thankfully invited Jessica. Their interaction that evening was brief but Jessica left a sweet impression on Nate. Fast forward a few months and Nate finds out from a friend Jessica was going to be hiking with a group of friends to a place called Phantom Falls. Thinking that this could be his chance to woo and capture her heart Nate eagerly accepted the invitation to join. It was a beautiful day; majestic waterfalls, spring wildflowers and sweet songs being sung by the birds. A few more hikes, her birthday celebration, encouragement from friends, and lake dates continued to place them on their way as a love struck, couple! On Wednesday November 27, 2019 Nate went on a family Thanksgiving trip to Lake Tahoe Ca. The family went on a snowshoe hike near Mount Rose to feed the chickadees. As the family was ending their hike, Nate surprised Jessica, “Jessica I like your earrings.” Jess slowly slid her snowshoes around to thank Nate for the compliment. She looked down. Nate was on one knee in the glistening white snow with the orange hues of the sunset glowing the mountains behind him. So right there in the presence of Jessica’s mom Kimberly, her sister Waters and the audience of well fed chickadees Nathaniel Moore asked Jessica Riley to marry him. And she said yes!
