One cold, Sunday evening in January, Natalie was browsing dating apps and came across a cute boy looking for songs to add to his funeral playlist. Thinking this was a fantastic conversation starter, she requested to add Dance Monkey. After fun banter about Brandon’s future funeral, Brandon asked for her number and they set a date for Saturday. For their first date, Brandon picked up Natalie from her apartment just down the Coralville strip. He greeted her at the car and opened the door so she didn't slip and fall on the ice. They went to the Den at St. Burch Tavern where they drank stout beers, (barely) ate cheese fries, and watched the Packers lose. At one point during their enticing conversation, Brandon asked if she wanted to "just get married now." Natalie laughed and said sure, but she was 100% serious. They met the next morning for a coffee date at Dash and they’ve been inseparable since.
