Turns out they have know each other for awhile. Tucker is a grade older than Natalie and they both attended Dubuque Senior High school. They attended many of the same parties during their high school years but never said much to each other. Natalie even attended Tuckers combined friend graduation party but Tucker didn't know it. He was never on the market anyway. On September 10th, 2022 Natalie and Tuckers paths crossed while in Iowa City for a football game. Natalies rowdy Belleuve friend group was partying at the front of Elrays bar and Tuckers friend group was in the back. Natalie happened to pass their group on the way back from the bathroom and invited them up by her group although Tucker was the only one that joined her. Natalies group was getting ready to leave the bar and that is when Natalie shoot her shot and asked for Tuckers number so she could be sure they met back up later on. Natalies plan worked out well. They ended up attending an after party together at Natalies friend Kylee & Keenans house. The next day after arriving back home from Iowa City, Natalie texted Tucker making sure he got home safe (a nice conversation starter she thought). From there the rest is history!
