CJ was an incoming Junior and Nathalie was an incoming senior when they met at a high school friend's party. CJ caught Nathalie's eye when he showed off his beatboxing skills. They became Facebook friends on Nathalie's birthday, where CJ messaged her privately and asked for her number. From then on, they would message and talk for hours at a time, and on July 10th 2010, CJ asked Nathalie to become his girlfriend where 8 years later, he would ask her to become his wife. More than anything, they have been best friends and each other's biggest cheerleaders. They both knew they would one day marry and agreed to wait until Nathalie accomplished her goal of becoming an Occupational Therapist. The month before she began her masters in OT, CJ asked her to marry him.
