We met in middle school, when Natalia was 11 and Jordan was 12. Somehow, Jordan always ended up seated next to Natalia — the “troublemaker” next to the straight-A student — in hopes she would be a good influence. Little did the teachers know, she was the one encouraging all the shenanigans she never got to do herself. Even then, we had the kind of banter that made us laugh until we cried — something that has never changed. No matter where life took us, we always found our way back to each other. In 2019, we reconnected, and six months later, we started dating. Through every challenge, we learned what it means to truly support one another while never losing our sense of humor. Along the way, we built a life we love, sharing beach days with our dog Mya and welcoming our cat Yogi into the family. Four years later, we got engaged in the Dominican Republic, and now, six years together and over sixteen years of knowing each other, one thing has always remained constant — our love, our laughter, and the way we’ve always found our way back to each other. We can’t wait to celebrate this next chapter together in Italy!
