On June 7th, Natalie celebrated her 21st birthday in Nashville with her Aunt Nana, Misty, Breanna, and Jenna. They went to The Local, a lively bar where Natalie spotted a tall, handsome man, Matthew, and excitedly pointed him out to her sisters—something she rarely did. Matthew was in Nashville with his best friend, Jackson, helping him prepare for a move. They also were at the bar that night. As the boys were leaving The Local, Natalie and Breanna stepped outside for fresh air. In a fleeting moment, Matt and Nat’s eyes met. A short while later, Matt returned to the bar, approached Natalie, and said, “I would have kicked myself if I left without getting your number” They exchanged numbers, and Natalie hoped she hadn’t given him the wrong one. The next morning, Natalie was thrilled yet anxious when Matt texted, asking if she wanted to do something spontaneous before he left town. He suggested grabbing lunch, and they decided on Hattie B's for some famous chicken sandwiches. Jenna and Breanna, ever the protective sisters, stayed nearby for lunch, giving Nat some space but staying close by. During their date, Nat’s phone was about to die. Jenna and Breanna, secretly delivered a power bank to her while she and Matt were shopping. The new couple also enjoyed ice cream and strolled down Broadway. They had a wonderful time, talking and walking amidst the lively street, their connection growing stronger with each step. The rest of their love story is history! 541 days later…. #Nat&MattSayIDo.
