Our journey began in the most unexpected way. Though we both attended college together for four years, it wasn’t until after finals during our senior week that we really started talking. It was then, amid the relaxed chaos of graduation, that we realized we were more than just classmates—we were meant to be something more. The spark was instant, and soon after, we found ourselves on countless mini golf dates, sharing laughs, stories, and the excitement of discovering each other. But, like any good adventure, life threw a twist our way. Just as our relationship was beginning to bloom, Nate flew across the pond and moved to Rome for a year, leaving us 1000s of miles apart. With too many care packages, flower deliveries, and zoom dates to count, we more than made it work. It was a challenge, but one we met head-on, taking the opportunity to explore the world together. Over the course of that year, we visited 11 different countries, including an unforgettable trip to Aruba—a place that would later become an integral part of our story. Fast forward four years, and here we are—excited to finally take the next step. Surrounded by our closest family and friends, we’re thrilled to have tied the knot in Aruba, a place that represents not just a beautiful memory, but the beginning of a new chapter for us both. Our Story Continues... We said “I do” in a small, intimate ceremony in beautiful Aruba, surrounded by a close circle of loved ones in July. It was a magical start to our forever, and now we’re so excited to continue the celebration! Join us for our stateside reception—an evening filled with joy, laughter, and all the people who make our love story even more special. With Love, N&J
