Nathan and I met online on Hinge like most people in our generation do, so shout out to hinge for making our paths cross! Our first date was at a brewery called Two Silos in Virginia where we must have spent over 5-6 hours there just talking, laughing, and pretty sure we drank all the mango sour beer that they had. This sounds super cliche but from the moment we met one another it was like this good yet weird feeling like we had met our person to be with in life. There was sense of kindness, safety, and happiness that Nathan gave off and I knew he was going to be my person for life. We spent almost every weekend with one another after that. We spent our time going to baseball games, spending time in local rivers in Virginia, watching Nathan grill amazing food, enjoying the amazing out doors in Virginia, going to wineries and breweries, and overall just loved every minute being with each other. Not being the most trusting person I am, Nathan really broke down my walls and allowed me to be myself and I have never felt more safe, loved, and happy with a person. Nathan has been with me during a VERY hard year medically for myself. For those who do not know I have been battling a very painful condition called a CSF Spinal Leak. Its basically where the fluid surrounding your skull there is a leak in my spine that is causing the fluid to leak causing the brain to sag inside the skull causing relentless horrible head pain. I have been to so many hospital stays, two surgeries, traveled to 5 states for help from specialists. Nathan, along with my family has been there every step of the way. He has supported me, pushed me, held me while I cried in pain, brought me closer to God, and has always been my rock during the worst year of my life. Finally I am at a place where my pain is controlled to a level I can live. I have good and bad days but I am finally able to enjoy my life with Nathan and that is what has motivated me through all this is to have him as my husband and celebrate our love with a great wedding. In those dark moments I had all I could see was his face at the alter and seeing all my friends and family coming together. For Nathan and I this wedding means so much more than a great fun celebration with friends and family. This is the start of our lives together where I am finally able to live as a wife, his best friend, a care giver, a worker, and finally having some normalcy back in our lives. We have wanted nothing more than to celebrate life the way we should have been before this terrible condition happened to me. One of the biggest things Nathan said was that even though this condition has been awful, it has brought us closer together as a couple and close together with God. So with that, we cannot wait to truly celebrate with you all on this day that we have been dreaming of during those hard moments. We never take a day for granted after everything we have dealt with as a couple so we are SO happy to celebrate with you all. I can say with every fiber in my being we both have hit the jack pot on having each other forever.
