Nate and Kara's story began in Iwakuni, Japan in July 2020. Nate was stationed there as a Marine Corps jet pilot while Kara worked as a Navy Nurse at the base clinic. Due to the strict Covid restrictions in Japan, they met outside of the barracks and took a romantic stroll along the seawall on base for their first date. The two immediately hit it off and continued to date through multiple deployments, work trips, and quarantine isolations. During their time in Japan, Nate and Kara explored the country and were able to visit all of the major cities and many more. One of their most cherished memories was their trip to Tokyo, where Nate surprised Kara with a proposal. Without any hesitation, Kara said yes! After three years together, we can’t wait to celebrate with all of you on December 16th!
