Nate and Tessa’s story began in October 2018 at a friend’s cabin near Leavenworth, WA. Nate had gone to college with Tessa’s best friend, Marie, who had invited Tessa to join the group for Octoberfest. They started as friends, spending weekends together at their favorite local spot, Shelter Lounge. The following year, during a festive night at the “Enchant” Christmas light maze, something changed - sparks flew. Tessa realized Nate might be more than just a friend, and luckily, he felt the same. On New Year’s Eve 2020, they shared their first kiss, marking the start of a new year, and a new chapter, that would change their lives forever.
