Our Story
Our journey began at Union Hospital in Terre Haute, where fate (and a student program) brought us together. I was working as a Volunteer and Student Specialist, and one of my favorite responsibilities was organizing events for local high school students to explore careers in healthcare. For one of these programs, I invited a guest speaker from the Pharmacy Residency program—none other than Nathaniel. A few weeks after the event, Nathaniel reached out and asked me on a date where we hit it off right away. Not long after we started dating, Nathaniel moved to Avon, IN to begin his career as an ER/Critical Care Pharmacist at IU West, while I stayed in Terre Haute to continue working and begin nursing school. Despite the distance, our relationship grew stronger. We navigated long drives and hectic schedules but we always made time for each other. Now, after everything we’ve built together, we couldn’t be more excited to take this next step. We’re so grateful for the love and support of our family and friends, and we can’t wait to celebrate our wedding day with all of you!

Wedding Party
Karli
Matron of Honor
Karli is my beautiful little sister and best friend. I often tell people she is my first child, and fully believe so. Being so close in age has ensured a constant companion in life and I am so blessed I have been able to watch her grow into the beautiful young woman she is today. I could not be more blessed to have her in my life and am so grateful to have her stand right beside me for the wedding.
Olivia
Maid of Honor
Olivia has been my best friend since we were in kindergarten. We have gone through every stage of life together and she has truly helped shape me into the woman I am today. We have talked about our wedding days since we were little girls and I am incredibly blessed to have her as my Maid of Honor.
McKenzie
Bridesmaid
McKenzie and I met at ISU where we both obtained a degree in Public Health. She has been a very close friend ever since we met. I was lucky enough to stand by her side on her wedding day, and am so blessed to have her by my side for mine. I could not have made it through my adult years so far without her and her friendship and could not be more grateful to have her in my life.
Brooklyn
Bridesmaid
Brooklyn and I met in nursing school and quickly became close friends during our orientation. Brooklyn has been my biggest cheerleader and shoulder to lean on during our schooling and I could not be more grateful for her. I am incredibly lucky to have met her and cannot wait to see her be an amazing nurse.
Meredith
Bridesmaid
Meredith and I have been very close friends since our freshman year in high school and have so many incredible memories together. Meredith helped shape my early adult years and I could not imagine life without her and her friendship. She has been such a constant support person for me and I cannot wait to have her by my side for this big day.
Joseph
Best Man
Joseph is my little brother who stole height from me, trust me. Growing up, Joseph and I fought like any other brothers do, but have always remained close. Even with him traveling the country now for work, we still make sure to check in on each other regularly. It was never a question to have him stand beside me as my best man.
Dorian
Groomsman
Dorian and I met in elementary school on a baseball team, but our friendship developed in middle school having become reacquainted through mutual friends. Hanging out during the summer at the pool, having LAN parties in my basement, or just through summer two-a-days at football made him one of my best friends. Just like many of my other friends we have maintained this friendship despite the distance and I am very excited to have him stand beside me at my wedding.
Jake
Groomsman
Jake and I met doing track in middle school and have been close friends since. Growing up we spent many summers playing basketball together and swimming in Chris' pool. I still feel bad for breaking his collarbone in football (sorry Jakey). Also living states away from Jake for multiple years we have always remained close. So close that I will be officiating his wedding in August.
Chris
Groomsman
Chris and I met in elementary school, but became close friends in middle school. Through sports, living close to one another and spending summers together swimming at his pool we have made some great memories. We have maintained our friendship even though I have lived out of state for many years now and I'm glad to also be in his wedding in October.
Ivan
Groomsman
Ivan and I met at the end of our freshman year of college where we randomly met through mutual friends where we gradually became friends and I now have a close friend for life. We continued living together throughout the rest of college as well and have continued to stay close friends even though we both struggle making plans to get together regularly.
