It all started during our senior year of high school. Broc was at Herriman High School, and Natalie was at Bingham High School. Believe it or not, Broc added Natalie on Snapchat and just asked her on a date... (Smooth move, right?) Little did he know, it was Natalie’s fourth date that week. But it turned out to be the only one that mattered.

Our first date was on October 13, 2022. We went mini-golfing, laughed the whole time, and then drove around for hours afterward, talking about everything and anything. It was like we had known each other forever. From that moment, we instantly connected, we were best friends and everything to each other.

It didn’t take long to make things official. On November 8, 2022—less than a month later—Broc got down on one knee, not to propose (yet!) but to ask Natalie to be his girlfriend. We spent the rest of our senior year glued together, sneaking in every moment we could to be with each other. (Sorry, parents!)

Then came college. Natalie headed off to BYU, and Broc went to Westminster to play soccer and earn his degree. We were still determined to see each other every chance we could, even if it meant tackling a 40-minute drive minimum every time. (Sorry again parents for spending so much money on gas!)

Now we’re both in our sophomore year of college, still at BYU and Westminster, and somehow, we’re even more in love than we were before. On December 4, 2024, Broc officially got down on one knee and asked Natalie to marry him. This time, it was for forever, and of course, she said yes!

We can’t wait to start this next chapter of our lives together. Here’s to where it all began, where we are now, and to forever with each other.
