Our Story

The Wedding Website of Natasha Roberts and James Cypert

We met on a dating app but didn't actually meet in person until a month later. First phone call? James was on a Shinkansen in Japan. First FaceTime? Natasha was in Times Square in NYC. We immediately connected over a love for the Tokyo Yakult Swallows and the desire to travel the world in a van. After texting nonstop, Natasha finally flew to San Diego to have our first date. James had brought her a Yakult Swallows hat from Japan. Natasha proceeded to badly sprain her ankle, meet all of James' friends, and tell him she loved him all within a few days. We knew from the start that our relationship would be unconventional. We lived in France, traveling around Europe. We quarantined in a studio apartment together in 2020. We moved to Portland. We did more long distance. We rescued a tripod fur baby. We traveled around Asia. James proposed to Natasha at Mt. Fuji a day after attending a Yakult Swallows game in Japan. It may be unconventional, but a love like this is exceptionally rare.
