Our Wedding

It all started when Natalie did a little harmless internet 'research' when being told - Daniel Bowen was the male version of her. A few successful Instagram searches later and two weeks of messaging, the two met up. Watching the Superbowl together with a group of friends, February 13th, 2022. The two hung out for a few months ensuring that Daniel being a Canisius Griff's Athlete, did not interfere with Natalie's Niagara Purple Eagle pride. They officially started dating and spending every moment together on April 9th, 2022. After that day, they knew they were each others other halves. Going from young immature college students to becoming cat parents to three, they knew they were in it together forever.
