Natalie and Will’s love story began in Connecticut.

Natalie (a Philly girl) and Will (a Roanoke lacrosse star!) both, separately and serendipitously, moved to Connecticut after graduating from college to pursue their careers - Natalie an actuary at Aetna in Hartford, CT and Will a lacrosse coach at Wesleyan University in Middletown, CT.

After matching on a dating app and having riveting conversation about Will’s famous trail mix, the two had their first date at J. Timothy’s Taverne in Fall 2018. Natalie was smitten after their first date and, even after seeing Will act like a fish out of water at Lyman Orchards, the rest of the pieces slowly fell into place.

Natalie and Will continued to date for a few years before becoming roommates in Glastonbury, CT in Summer 2021 and then rescuing their adorable puppy, Nora, one year later. At this point, it was obvious that the two were going to end up together - it was only a matter of time, and figuring out how to plan a proposal without Natalie knowing, until Will popped the question.

On June 24th 2023, Will and Natalie went on a walk through Elizabeth Park in West Hartford, CT and Will asked Natalie to marry him (spoiler: she said yes!). The day could not have been more perfect - the roses were in full bloom (unplanned) and then the couple celebrated with their families at Zohara (Will planned!).

A few weeks after the engagement, Will accepted a job as Head Coach of the men’s lacrosse team at Immaculata University in Malvern, PA. The next chapter in Natalie, Will, and Nora’s story will focus on exploring their new home: Conshohocken, PA.

Natalie and Will cannot wait to celebrate their love with you all on October 5th, 2024!
