Natalie & Chris's Story


Natalie and Chris met with a swipe, a single rose, impeccable timing and luck on their side. Natalie accepted his rose, and soon after that they had their first coffee date on April 29, 2022. It had to have been love at first sight because they were inseparable after that.


Chris at the time was living up in Santa Clarita and Natalie lived down in Oak Park, but he would come out to see her every week. They spent a lot of time together, getting to know one another and soon realized they had many things in common. She made it very clear that she had an almost 2 year old, and they were a package deal. He had no problem accepting this and later said he would do anything to make them both happy and protect them.


Relationships are never easy, they take work, communication and commitment and they were both willing to go to any length for their love. They then decided to move in together and start taking their relationship to the next level building a family. Chris soon became Daddy Chris and it just validated their relationship and growing love as a family.


In 2023 they started talking about expanding their family and even talked about getting married. They took a family trip to Monterey and on November 20, 2024 Chris got down on one knee at The Sardine Factory and asked Natalie to marry him with Caleb by her side. She had no idea there was a ring, or that there was going to be a proposal, but it was the easiest yes she had ever said.


Natalie is drawn to Chris's kindness, generosity, love, hard work and he is unlike any other man she's ever met. Chris is drawn to her generous heart, beauty, that she cares for everyone around her, she is compassionate and an impeccable mother. They are an amazing team, each others support system and walk through everything together.


From a rose to forever, Natalie and Chris are so excited to celebrate this next chapter with you. The people that mean the most to them. The people who have supported them, loved them and cheered them on from day one!
