We’re getting married!

Nate and Lily first crossed paths in the fall of 2017 as freshmen at Indiana University. By pure luck (or maybe fate), they ended up on the same coed floor—Dejoya 300—in McNutt dorm. They met for the first time at a classic “dorm party,” where Nate swears he fell in love on the spot. But as many of you know, Lily wasn’t exactly sold right away… From always offering to buy her Starbucks to sliding into the DMs after every single selfie (which, let’s be honest, was a lot), Nate’s determination knew no bounds. After a few months of persistence—and some serious charm—Lily gave him a shot. Aaaaaaand the rest is history! They made it official on June 23, 2018, when Nate took Lily on a date to The Eagle’s Nest, a rotating restaurant almost 300 feet above Indy. They spotted a rainbow during dinner, then went stargazing in Nate’s backyard—completely unaware that a meteor shower was about to happen. They saw over 20 shooting stars that night and made so many wishes. From that point on, they were pretty inseparable. Fast forward to November 2019, when they rescued their soul dog, Tucker. He instantly became their whole world and brought them even closer together. In 2022, after graduating and leaving Bloomington, Nate and Lily bought their very first home in Whitestown, IN—a cozy little ranch that quickly became their happy place. Not long after, they expanded their family with a sassy new addition: their dog-hter, Miss Lola. Tucker wasn’t too sure about her at first, but now they’re the best of friends. After almost six amazing years of love, laughter, and a lot of dog hair, Nate got down on one knee and asked Lily to marry him. It was the easiest YES she’s ever said. And now, they absolutely cannot wait to tie the knot with all of you by their side!
