It all started at some high school batting cages--not thinking much of it--when all they thought they were getting out of the day was some batting practice. It wasn't till one spring night in April of 2013 at Lake Elsinore's Storm Stadium, when the fireworks went off...for Natalia at least. Eli was stubborn at first, but after one night out and some frozen yogurt he was able to warm up to the idea of dating. After years of adversity through college and a very long distant relationship, the two of them clearly knew that their was nothing getting in the way of their love for each other. Till this day, you can tell that they have the can't eat, can't sleep, reach for the stars, over the fence, world-series kind of love!
After quite some time of long distance, the two decided to take their first romantic getaway to enjoy and appreciate each other. When Natalia thought she was planning the trip of a life time, it was Eli who had bigger plans in his back pocket... It was their first day on the romantic island of Mykonos, and the two were getting ready for a fun photo shoot that Eli organized. After a couple of shots of being complete awkward stiffs. Eli got on one knee in Little Venice and asked for her hand in marriage. Natalia was too choked up in tears to answer, so she nodded her head aggressively to let him know how excited she was to be the future Mrs. Lingos.
