Natalie and Ruben met in January of 2016 after agreeing to join a co-ed soccer team. They were friends for a few months and always hanging out. It became official in July of 2016 and in that same year, Ruben left for Chico State. In 2019, Natalie and Ruben were able to officially say goodbye to the traveling and long distance. 2020 was the year of quarantine, but it was also the year brought them closer than ever. Spring break 2021 brought them to Zion National Park. On March 31st, Ruben popped the question to Natalie at the end of their hike in The Narrows. We are truly grateful for where life has brought us to this point and blessed with all the support from our friends and family. We cannot wait to celebrate our special day with you!
