We met during an internship in Charleston, SC. Before meeting each other on the job, we had looked over each other’s social media profiles and separately determined that we would be fast friends. Our hunches were more than right! By the end of the summer, we had spent nearly every day together. Weekends usually involved grabbing bagels and coffee at Blondie’s on Daniel Island and laying out on the beaches of Isle of Palms. It was an easy decision to keep seeing each other in the fall as we returned to school. Despite living in different cities for the next few years, our relationship continued to grow. We made trips between Athens and Atlanta, Athens and Philadelphia, and Denver and Louisville, CO. Regardless of the distance, we never worried about how we would see each other, but rather when we would be back together again. In 2022, we finally settled down in the same city, moving cross-country from Colorado back to Atlanta. In early 2024, we took a trip together back to Charleston for a long weekend. On the same beach we had met almost 6 years prior, Matt got the best “yes” of his life. Since meeting on the first day of our internship, we have been on countless dates, coffee runs, and hand-in-hand walks. We’ve eaten gallons of Taqueria del Sol queso, danced at all hours of the night, and traveled to numerous countries, national parks, and beaches. We’re so excited to spend this weekend celebrating our love with all of you in one of our favorite places! - Natalie and Matt
