Our Wedding

In 2011, Evan Spiegel, Bobby Murphy,&nbsp;and Reggie Brown published an app in the app store...that app was called Snapchat. Even though&nbsp;Hannah and Nate have never met these men, they were partially responsible for their&nbsp;introduction. However, they are not the only players in this story. Hannah's sister and Nate were both recent hires at a CPA firm in Pittsburgh called Schneider Downs.

 

It was a cold January night, and the two strangers&nbsp;were over&nbsp;100 miles apart. Hannah's sister, Michele, decided, on a whim, to pay her a visit at Indiana University of Pennsylvania (IUP). Nate was visiting his&nbsp;father in State College, PA, and just so happened to meet up with Dean, another friend from work,&nbsp;who was also&nbsp;in town.&nbsp;

 While Hannah and Nate were both individually enjoying a night out, Snapchats of the festivities were circulating. Nate's attention was drawn to&nbsp;the&nbsp;alluring girl with big&nbsp;green eyes&nbsp;accompanying Michele in her Snapchats to her coworkers.&nbsp;

First Glance

After Michele and Nate&nbsp;had both made their way to their respective homes in Pittsburgh, Nate hoped he could find out more about the girl he saw the night before.&nbsp;

The Next Day

A week later, Hannah decided to pay a visit to her&nbsp;sister in Pittsburgh, not on a whim. Before arriving at her sister's apartment in Highland Park, she was dropping a friend off at the University of&nbsp;Pittsburgh (Pitt) in Oakland.&nbsp;

 

Technology was on her side the week before, but this day, it had other plans.&nbsp;Hannah was unable to pull up directions to&nbsp;Michele's apartment from Pitt, so she called her sister for guidance. Michele, also unfamiliar with Oakland, decided to hand the phone to the Pitt alum who was eagerly awaiting Hannah's arrival.&nbsp;

 Hannah was struck by the patience and compassion in&nbsp;the deep voice coming through her phone as she was lost, late, and flustered...not her ideal first impression.

Hello

After an exciting first meeting with dinner and dancing with friends, Hannah and Nate planned their next date. Fortuitously, Valentine's Day was only one&nbsp;week away... &nbsp;Nate drove his old man car (RIP Marvin) to IUP to take Hannah out. He&nbsp;arrived with roses in hand, excited and nervous for a solo date with&nbsp;his valentine. Hannah's awkward salad eating aside, the date went well, as&nbsp;did the following months and years.

My Valentine?

Hannah and Nate displayed great teamwork through Hannah's final
months and graduation from&nbsp;undergrad (IUP), the addition of a feline furbaby
(Forrest),&nbsp;the moving process to grad school (Kent State University -
KSU),&nbsp;countless weekends in&nbsp;Kent and Pittsburgh, and yet another
graduation (KSU).&nbsp;

Their relationship grew stronger as did their commitment to each
other,&nbsp;culminating with&nbsp;Hannah beginning her career as a
Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP) and moving into an apartment in Robinson
on&nbsp;9.12.2018.

Interim

Leading up to Thanksgiving, 2018, Nate secretly&nbsp;paid a
visit to Hannah's father to ask for his blessing. Following the blessing, Nate
went immediately to his mother's to discuss his intentions and still made it
home without alerting Hannah. After&nbsp;Thanksgiving, Hannah and Nate went to
visit Nate's father in State College. Upon leaving State College, Nate&nbsp;pulled
his dad aside to disclose his imminent proposal plans.&nbsp;

Back in Pittsburgh, while sitting through a long musical
(Fiddler on the Roof), made longer by Nate's nerves, he formulated his final
plan. After the performance, he brought Hannah to the Winter Garden at PPG
Place under the guise of looking at the Christmas display. Nate's deception had
worked and&nbsp;Hannah was clueless that anything else was in store.



Nate suggested taking a photo before leaving the gingerbread
house display and searched for the right passerby&nbsp;to capture the moment.
Hannah soon realized something was up&nbsp;as Nate's voice began to shake. He
turned back toward her and&nbsp;dropped down to one knee, asking "Will you
marry me?"

Well, our honeymoon plans have changed, due to the airline cancelling our flight to Barbados.

We will now be honeymooning at Sandals Regency La Toc in Saint Lucia!&nbsp;

Photos

"Hannah (AKA Beetle or Flounder) is my little sister. Nate and I have been working together since 2015 and is my work best friend. After all of the support and patience Hannah has provided me over the years, I am so happy I could repay the favor by indirectly introducing her to Nate."

Michele Milheim

"Nate has been my brother for a long time. Hannah lets him play with chickens."

Nick Novacco

"I grew up playing soccer with Hannah most of my life. I met Nate when I ran into Hannah at the ice rink one night when she came to watch him play hockey...and I'm so happy she found such a great guy!"

Sarah Thompson

"Nate has been a good friend since college. He's fun to be around and always brings the energy. He also taught me how to properly use a gas stove. Hannah and I have been friends since Nate began dating her. Hannah has an optimistic attitude and always has a smile on her face. I can't wait to be a part of your big day!"

Matt Duffy

"I met Nate back in my sophomore year at Pitt when he joined the hockey team. He played as my defensive partner on different occasions throughout the years...likely saving my ass multiple times after I tried to make ridiculous plays on offense and left him out to dry by himself. We became really close over the years of time together at the rink, the Bates Motel, and of course Bouquet E. I now enjoy letting Nate whoop me in golf from time to time. I met Hannah for the first time within the last year or so, and quickly realized that she's both cooler and nicer than both me and Nate, so it would be great for her to stay around. They are both literally the most precise packers ever anytime they visit, and it's really impressive actually to the point where I'm kind of jealous. Really happy for both of you guys!"

Mark Clifford

"Hannah & I met in grad school at Kent State where we were fellow Speechies (& Oakies). Kent is also where I met Nate, who against his own will became an honorary Speechie (& Oakie) himself. While we shared a number of late nights studying in the Oaks clubhouse...we also shared a number of late nights filled with dancing and singing at good ole Water Street Tavern - can’t wait to do the same on 09.12.2020 ;)"

Dana Pipino

"I met Nate freshman year of college and lived with him for several years after that. Anyone who knows Nate, knows that he is the type of guy that will grow on you over time. Yo Nate!? Just checking..."

"I've known Hannah for a few years after meeting her at a party with Nate. Her friendly personality is rivaled only by her aim, which I found out is much&nbsp;better than mine."

Matt Delaney

"I met Hannah our first year of grad school at Kent State together. We quickly became great friends over late night study sessions and our love of cats. I got to know and become friends with Nate during his many visits to Kent. So happy to be a part of their big day!"

Katie Zingg

"Hannah and I&nbsp;met at the Indiana University of Pennsylvania where Hannah forced me&nbsp;to eat peas and hot sauce on spaghetti. During one of the first times meeting Nate, I&nbsp;offered to create a scene to get Hannah out of the date. I&nbsp;was glad to be proven wrong and am&nbsp;excited to see them embark&nbsp;on this new adventure together."

Mara Menk

"I met Nate when we lived in the same dorm freshman year. For reasons unknown, I then chose to spend not one, not two, but three more years under the same roof as him. I could always count on Nate to have a bag of sports equipment that partially masked the odor of my equally smelly gear. I couldn't be happier that he found someone to agree to put up with his smells for longer than I did."

Eric Bulgarelli

"I first crossed paths with&nbsp;Nate on the ice at Pitt hockey tryouts my Sophomore year. Fortunately, we both ended up making the team, and in Nate I gained a great teammate and an even better friend. Over the years we've battled countless opponents on the ice, laughed our way through many rounds of golf, and enjoyed a few beers together. I'm honored to be part of Nate and Hannah's big day."

Chris Santangelo

"Hannah is one of the nicest people you will ever meet with the added bonus of a stunning smile. &nbsp;She works harder than most anyone I know and is so incredibly motivated. &nbsp;Here’s to Hannah and Nate, loved by friends and fur babies alike.&nbsp;Congrats on walking down the aisle! &nbsp;I know you’d rather run. &lt;3"
