#TyingtheNaut

We each lived in different towns and attended different high schools, so we never crossed paths until the night we met at an East Hartford High School Football Game. One November 2, 2005 that’s where it all began, we all met up at the football field along with other friends of ours. From the first time that Stephanie and Ray introduced us we locked eyes immediately and hit it off. Unfortunately by the time the football game ended and said our goodbyes we never grabbed each other’s numbers. A few days later we exchanged numbers thanks to Stephanie and Ray. On November 15, 2005 that’s when we spoke over the phone for the first time which also happened to be his birthday (he says it was a perfect icebreaker). From there on out we’ve been inseparable ever since.

Those who know us know how much we love traveling to new places. One of our dream destinations had always been Greece. Fall of 2019 our dream finally came true. We flew into Mykonos and it was everything we imagined.....And more! We toured all around Greece, but the most memorable place was the Romantic island of Santorini. We checked into our room on Wednesday night. Originally We planned to sleep in, But at 545am Chay wakes me up and tells me that we are getting picked at 8am for photos. At 8am we were privately transported to Oia by the photography company where we began the photo shoot. Chay had me pose looking out into the water with him behind me. And that’s when it happened, I turned around and Chay was down on one knee and asked me to Marry him!
