The meet cute

Love came in through the airwaves

Kate and Nathan met on the executive staff of KCOU, their college radio station — Kate was the news director and Nathan led the production team. Nathan asked Kate to do a LOT of voiceovers for him, but she never suspected he liked her until one wild KCOU Halloween party where Kate ended up staying the night with one of her best friends from college. Nathan waited for her (on the sofa of an off-campus house, bless his heart), then asked her out on the walk back to their apartment complex the next morning. They probably talked for five hours on their first date at Lakota Coffee Company in Columbia, MO and haven't been able to stop talking since. Nathan went on to grad school in Boston...then more grad school in Philadelphia...but they never lost their connection (and that was before Zoom became a thing!)

If there was a silver lining to COVID...

Putting an end to long-distance

Flash forward about seven years after they met and Nathan was still in Philadelphia finishing his PhD, while Kate was in Richmond starting a new job in journalism. One weekend in March 2020, Nathan came to visit Kate and learned — as they were driving him back to the train station — that Penn's campus had shut down. They went back to Kate's apartment and he never left Richmond. If there was one silver lining to the pandemic, it was that they finally got to live together again after such a long time apart. The next two years were a dream (aside from the whole, you know, total shutdown thing) and after adopting their beloved dog, Kojo, they decided they might as well make things official and get married, too. Moving to New York was their next big adventure together, and they can't wait to keep discovering what else life has in store.
