Most of you are probably surprised by this, coming from a self-professed lifelong bachelor at this stage in his life, but I guess that’s how life is; Sometimes we meet THE ONE when we least expect it.

Natalie and I met while working in the ER. After all, nothing gets the heart fluttering like screaming patients and the smell of constant urine and vomit right? Haha…but in spite of this, or maybe because of it, we found ourselves bonding over our sick sense of humor and our shared interests in medicine and working out.

She had a water polo and swimming background and was supposedly a lifeguard at one point (even though all she ever did was sit in that high chair and never saved anyone) and I was getting ready for a triathlon at the time, so I challenged her to a race one afternoon outside of work as a joke. Never did I think she would take me up on it! I thought it would be a walk in the park but she actually ended up kicking my butt. I was shocked and very impressed too because no one ever beats me! After that day, we started to hang out more and more and despite our age difference, we found that we shared the same interests, same sense of humor and same aspirations in life…it was like we were the same person, and for the first time in my life, I could picture myself settling down.

Things progressed pretty quickly from there and one beautiful starlit night in Hawaii, that felt like it was just for us, with the ocean as a backdrop, a soothing sea breeze, and the first fireworks show on the island since COVID began, I dropped to one knee and asked Natalie to be my wife! Luckily she said yes, and so here we are!

But I guess it really is true what they say, there really is someone out there for everyone and I’m lucky to have finally found my best friend and my soulmate all in one person! We hope to be very happy together and continue to work side by side together in the future; her as a doc, and me as her slave PA. Hahah…Therefore, we would be honored if you could join us and help us celebrate our first official day as man and wife!
