we're getting married

Natalie and Hayden first crossed paths in February 2022 while Natalie was in cosmetology school. Hayden had come in for a haircut with a mutual friend, and while Natalie didn't say a word, she certainly noticed him. That same friend later played matchmaker, Hayden reached out the next day, and a week of nonstop texting and phone calls led to their first date. Hayden planned the entire evening, taking Natalie across town to watch the sunset in the park - the very same spot where they would get engaged three years later. Afterward, he took her to the drive-in for the new Batman movie. If you ask either of them for a review today, they couldn't give you one. Due to their lack of interest in the DC franchise paired with the fact neither are night owls, they both fell asleep twenty minutes in. They spent the rest of the three-hour runtime nodding off or talking over the film until the drive-in closed and they were asked to leave. As that first night came to an end, they both realized it was only the beginning. Over the last few years, they've gone on endless adventures, attempted to stay awake during every movie night, and have yet to run out of things to talk about. But most of all, they are so excited to start this next chapter of building their life together.
