Nathan and Mary met during the COVID-19 Pandemic and had many dates online over Zoom calls before ever meeting in person. The first time they met they went to Snail Lake in Minnesota and walked around for hours in the cold while wearing masks. They finally had a "real date" in January 2021 and went to Lake of the Isles which is where Nathan proposed 3 years later. Nathan and Mary have stuck together through thick and thin ever since, and can't wait to say "Yes!" to forever next June.
