TJ and Nat matched on Hinge in August, 2021 and had their first date on August 22nd. After that date, TJ walked Natalie halfway to her car and graced her with a side-hug (Nat privately questioned his date-abilty and here after referred to him as “side-hug boy” to her friends) but Natalie decided it wasn’t enough to ruin the chemistry from the rest of the date and agreed to date number 2 (she’s definitely glad she did!). Over the course of the next couple of months, TJ and Nat spent as much time together as they could. TJ met Natalie’s older brother and saw both of their dancing abilities. Soon after they met each other’s parents and spent Thanksgiving with Natalie’s family and friends. The rest, as they say, is history. Weddings, scuba dives, 24 hour drives, proposals, and a lot of nights at home watching Star Wars, Game of Thrones, or any show on Netflix; TJ and Natalie’s love grew during adventure or stillness, enjoying any time they had together. They look forward to their new chapter and can’t wait to have you there to experience it with them!
