Once upon a time, a freshman girl had a crush on senior boy named “Mike Carpenito.” Fast forward a few years, and a game of “Words With Friends” brought them together for the first time back in 2014. It is a shock to no one that of course, Natalie won the first game but she didn't want the fun to end. She gained the courage to message Mike and say "Hey, wanna play again?". When Mike & Natalie finally met in person, they both knew something was different. It felt as though they had known each other for years when it had only been a few hours. And their relationship began. Mike & Natalie have been together for each other’s greatest accomplishments - graduating college, first real jobs, living together and everything in between. They continue to bond over their love of Harry Potter, video games, and tequila. Mike proposed on a rainy day at the New York Botanical Gardens almost 2 years ago. While wandering the gardens in the rain, Mike insisted to see the Rose Garden. Little did Natalie know, Mike was planning to pop the question all along. And of course, Natalie said YES! And now, over a decade later their love story starts a new chapter. Mike and Natalie are so excited to say "I Do" while surrounded by their amazing friends and family. We hope you can join them on their special day.
