Welcome to the next chapter of our story.

Natasha and Valerie met in December 2016 at SUNY New Paltz. What began as a friendship quickly grew into something more as they became neighbors (accidentally) and confidantes. Somewhere between late-night talks and everyday moments, friendship quietly turned into love. Their first official date came in December 2018, marking the start of a new chapter neither could have fully imagined. In June 2021, they took their first big step together and moved in as a couple. A year later, their family began to grow with the adoption of their first pet, Monkey, in June 2022—followed closely by Obie in August 2022, Milo in August 2024, and Ollie in March 2025 (we know - that's a lot of pets, but we love them all!). Along the way, they made homes in Jersey City, Montclair, and Ledgewood, each place shaping them a little more, until they finally landed in their new home in Vermont in February 2025. Their first trip together was to Boston, followed by adventures from Canada to South Africa, Scotland, Puerto Rico, and beyond, collecting memories everywhere they go. Through moves, milestones, adventures, and everyday life, Natasha and Valerie have grown up together. They’re excited to keep growing, loving, and experiencing all the ups and downs of this beautiful, crazy life, side by side.
