Our Wedding

Our love story was crazy from the beginning! It all started on the night of August 10, 2019. I was out and about with some girl friends, and we started the night with some cocktails at the Hyatt Hotel Rooftop Bar in Knoxville, TN. After we left, we were walking down Gay Street in front of Downtown Grill and Brewery, when one of the girls disappeared for a second. "Where's Natali?" I said. We turned around to see her speaking to a group of guys that she knew from high school. "Who's THAT guy?" and nudged at my friend. Unbeknownst to me, that guy was Taylor and he noticed me too at the exact same moment. "Who's THAT girl?" Our group of girls went to Southbound in the Old City, and Taylor and his group of guys were planning on going there as well. When we were inside, Natali grabbed me by the hand. "My friend said he really wants to meet you. He thinks you're really beautiful." "Which friend?" Taylor had at least 10 guys with him that night for Stetson's birthday. "The tall one!" said Natali. "They're all tall!" I said. She walked me to the other said of the room and placed me in front of Taylor. In my mind, I was like "score!!" After being introduced and talking for a little bit, some of my friends wanted to pop into the bar next door. I left but after some time, decided to come back to Southbound knowing Taylor was still there. After we were settled in at the back, I saw Jenise, a new friend I met that night that also knew Taylor. "There you are! Come with me." She grabbed my hand and dragged me to the other side of the room again, and placed me in front of Taylor. With a big smile on his face, Taylor said "Hey again." It all started here. I had a solo trip planned in two weeks to Hawai'i. "Do you want to come to Hawai'i with me?" "Yes!" Taylor said. We had our first official date three days later at Conner's. Then off we went on August 30, 2019 for a nine day trip to Oahu, Hawai'i. Fast forward three years, we went to Thailand and Vietnam for vacation with my family. On my birthday, Taylor said that we were going to listen to live music on the beach before we go to dinner. I said “who’s playing?” His only reply was, “I’m not sure!” Taylor had spent the last few days planning the proposal and speaking to the concierge to arrange a photographer for our engagement. When we were walking to the beach, I remember thinking “there’s no way he’s going to propose. His jeans are way too tight to fit a ring box!“ and it didn’t even cross my mind that he could just slip the ring in his pocket, so when he got down on one knee, I was completely surprised! It is truly special to me that he decided to propose in the country I was born. Kudos to him for also not losing the ring while traveling halfway across the world! Yes, we are crazy! But we were crazy for each other from the start.

Love at first sight

Travel

Welcome to Music City! We made this awesome city our home in 2020. We've listed below our favorite things to do to occupy your days during our wedding weekend if you'd like! Favorite places to eat: Bourbon Steak: This restaurant by Michael Mina is our favorite here in Nashville by a landslide. We spend almost all of our special occasions here. It is located on the top floor of the JW Marriott in downtown. Don't miss out on the Tuna Tartare and Wagyu Steak! Reservations are recommended.<a href="https://nashvillebourbonsteak.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://nashvillebourbonsteak.com</a> O-ku: This is our favorite sushi spot! Located in Germantown. Mondays are the best day to come for their half-price sushi days. Our favorite is the "Playboy", but you really can't go wrong with anything you order. Reservations recommended, especially for Mondays!<a href="https://www.o-kusushi.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.o-kusushi.com</a> Blue Sushi Sake Grill: Yes, we love sushi lol. But this place is delicious, and the best prices during "all day happy hour" on Sundays! It is also conveniently located at 5th and Broadway.<a href="https://bluesushisakegrill.com/locations/tennessee/nashville" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://bluesushisakegrill.com/locations/tennessee/nashville</a> Sinema: You really get a full dining experience here, from the history surrounding this old theatre turned restaurant, to the delicious Chef's Tasting Menu. We've only recently discovered this place and it quickly found its way to our list of favorite places!<a href="https://www.sinemanashville.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.sinemanashville.com</a> The Optimist: If you love seafood, this is the place to go! This one is also located in Germantown. Have some of the best seafood Nashville can offer, then pop upstairs to Le Loup for some delicious cocktails!<a href="https://www.theoptimistrestaurant.com/nashville" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.theoptimistrestaurant.com/nashville</a> Twelve-thirty supper club: Owned by Justin Timberlake and located on Broadway, we just love this place for the food, drinks, and atmosphere. Listen to a live band during your meal. Fun fact: we saw Michael Jordan here!<a href="https://thetwelvethirtyclub.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://thetwelvethirtyclub.com</a> Favorite Cocktail Bars: Ellington's at Fairlane HotelLe LoupBastionAttaboyPatterson HousePinewood SocialHampton Social Favorite Activities: Live Music on Broadway: You might be living under a rock if you've been to Nashville and have never listened to live music. When we say go to Broadway, we also mean all the streets even connected to broadway (2nd Ave., 3rd. Ave, Church St., etc!) Nashville is not short on talent here. It is free to enter anywhere. We like Casa Rosa, Jason Aldean's, FGL House, Luke Bryan's, and the Stage to name a few. Golf: If you have time, we recommend playing at the Hermitage or Gaylord Springs. These are the best public courses in our opinion. Concerts or Plays: You might be short on time depending on when you are heading home, but you might be able to catch a concert on Friday or Sunday night at the Ascend Amphitheater, Bridgestone Arena, the Ryman, Grand Ole Opry, or TPAC. Nashville Sounds Baseball Game: This is our minor league baseball team. Tickets are also pretty cheap. There's all kinds of things to do in the stadium besides just watching the game! Public Parks: Nashville has plenty of greenery too! Centennial Park is beautiful with a man-made pond and is home to The Parthenon (an exact replica of the Parthenon in Greece). You can buy tickets to enter the museum inside, where you can also see a gigantic gold statue of Athena, the greek goddess of war! There's also Shelby Park in East Nashville and Charlotte Park in West Nashville. Cheekwood: This is a historic estate with 55 acres of greenery and gardens. You do have to purchase tickets to go in, but the beauty of it is a must-see! You could definitely spend hours in here. Country Music Hall of Fame: Last but not least, the CMHOF itself! We feel so blessed to be able to have our wedding here. Take some time to walk through and learn the history of Country Music. There's shops and food options here as well. All guests will be offered discounted tickets- make sure to tell them you're a part of the Mitna Ngo and Taylor Bunch wedding! We hope you all enjoy your time in Nashville as much as we love living here!
