Our Wedding

Natalie and Conner met in the summer of 2021 on Bumble...crazy right?!?! The couple talked on the phone everyday for two weeks before deciding to meet. Conner brought Natalie Chick Fil A one night after work to meet each other face to face for the first time. Natalie was very intrigued by Conner after meeting him. Conner decided to ask her to go on a first date on July 3rd, 2021 to Mellow Mushroom. After their first date, it was clear that they had found something special with each other. Conner asked Natalie to be his girlfriend on July 22, 2021. Over the course of the following months their friendship and interest in one another grew into love. Conner and Natalie's relationship flourished through trips to Siesta Key Beach, Cocoa Beach, and Disney World together. Conner had the opportunity to spend many evenings with the Alvarez family where he could see the role family played in Natalie’s life. Natalie spent many days with Conner’s family as well, who all loved Natalie from the moment they met her. After about a year of dating, Conner knew Natalie was the one for him, and began the process of popping the question. He proposed on December 30th, 2022 at Chateu Elan and the rest is history.....
