The story begins all the way back at Belvidere Central Middle School when Natali was in 6th grade and Jackson was in 7th grade. Natali was a track manager and Jackson was running hurdles. Jackson saw Natali and thought "Wow! What a cute redhead." The two went on and saw other people through middle school and high school. They had always been on each others radar due to Natali being besties with two of Jackson's cousins, Jenna and Jordyn (now Natali's bridesmaids). Jackson and Natali became good friends after high school. When Natali worked at Pizza Hut, Jackson would often stop by and eat at the counter, talking (or flirting) with her. They went to see movies together, went out to eat, and built a true and great friendship. It was not until Thanksgiving 2019 when they went on their first official date: Costco. Natali had never been to Costco so Jackson chivalrously showed Natali around the megastore. They got a large box of macarons and went back to Jackson's house to watch a movie. They were smitten since. They became an official couple on Friday, December 13th when, after watching the classic horror flick, Friday the 13th, the pair shared their first kiss in Natali's driveway. Since then, Jackson and Natali have bonded over a love of cats, marvel movies, bad jokes, and each other. Have a wonderful time celebrating with them because they are so happy to be celebrating their commitment to each other!
