Our Wedding

Nathan and Mia first met in September of 2021 at a Castle View High School football game. Mia and her friend Melania picked him up before the game and didn’t think much about it since Nathan was already in a relationship. Nathan and Melania had been close friends prior to Mia and Nathan meeting. A few months later Nathan was no longer with his girlfriend and asked Melania for Mia’s number. The couple started seeing each other after that, often times with Melania as the third wheel haha (sorry Melania). On their first official date Nathan picked Mia up from her house and met her parents. Both of them were so impressed with how kind and respectful Nathan was to them. Nathan helped haul a new washer into Mia’s house with her dad shortly after they met. On their first date Mia and Nathan went ice staking (which failed miserably) and got chipotle. Afterward went back to Mia’s and hung out for hours on end. The couple connected from the start. On January 16 Mia and Nathan went to see a movie and dinner with Nathan’s mom and two sisters and went back to his house to meet his dad. Later that night Nathan asked Mia to make it official and just a month into their relationship they knew God intended them to be each others forever. 

How Mia and Nathan met

Mia and Nathan got engaged in June 2023 in Mexico with Mia’s mom and aunt Lisa for Mia’s senior trip! Mia was joking with Nathan about the possibility of the couple getting engaged in Mexico but Nathan tried convincing her it wasn’t happening there. She was suspicious from the start haha. Prior to the trip Nathan bought a Go Pro camera which Mia thought was a clue that he was going to record them when he decided to propose. On their trip Mia and Nathan had a safe in their room which Nathan decided to store their passports in, what Nathan didn’t know was Mia saw the passports were leaned up again a small box inside the safe.  Which she suspected was her ring. The second night into the trip Nathan asked Mia to watch the sunrise in the morning and get ready before hand, any girl might be confused about this request because what’s the point of getting ready before a day full of pool, tanning and the beach. Mia obliged anyway and they woke up the next morning unfortunately to a gloomy raining day and went back to bed. They decided they’d go walk the beach before dinner as a replacement. Later that night before going to their walk on the beach Mia needed to go get some hair oil from her mom and aunts room. Immediately after walking in the room Nathan walked to the back of their room to talk to my mom, which Mia took note of, of course. Mia went to join their conversation and Nathan asked if it was okay if he and Mia went to the beach before dinner. Mia’s aunt said that was fine since she still wasn’t ready even though she was dressed and her makeup and hair was done. Mia was catching on by this point but asked Nathan if he brought his Go Pro and he said no which made her think he wasn’t proposing. Unfortunately their trip happened to be during the early hurricane season so this night was gloomy, windy and by this point pretty much dark. The way Nathan wanted to walk on the beach was walking with the wind so Mia’s hair was getting stuck to her face because of the humidity and she wanted to go the other way but Nathan stuck with it and convinced her to go the way with the wind because there’s more to see. Their entire walk Nathan was on his phone, which if you know Nathan that’s not normal. Mia was weirded out by this and asked what was going on and he said he had to text my mom and aunt to tell them we’ll just meet them at dinner if they want to get us a table. But from what Mia could see he was texting way longer texts than just “we’ll meet you at dinner”. They walked to this pier that was all lit up and were just talking and started walking back and Nathan was behind Mia and pulled her hand and he was on one knee proposing to her. Seconds after Mia said yes, her aunt was running up behind them with her camera while Mia’s mom was recording on the Go pro from afar. The video that was taken on the Go Pro was hilarious and so fuzzy. They went to the buffet for dinner and ran into an older couple they had met earlier who was surprised we were only dating not engaged or anything so we had to tell them the big news. Mia’s ring was unfortunately almost 2 sizes too big (not Nathan’s fault the store got the sizes wrong) but she still wore it for some of the trip with another ring stacked on top so it wouldn’t fall off. It now fits perfectly after resizing it 3 times. Mia and Nathan are so excited to embark on this next chapter as a married couple. Thank you from being here to celebrate it with them!
