Jared and Natalie met in the spring of 2022 in the beautiful glow of the sun of Orlando, Florida and the bustling energy of an Osteopathic Neuromuscular Conference. Natalie, invited by her sister Nichole to the conference, felt a jolt of excitement upon spotting Jared near the elevators of the hotel on the first day. His striking features captivated her, and she hoped he was there for the conference, not leaving just yet.

As fate would have it, Jared was also attending the event. Despite many encounters throughout the conference, it wasn't until the last night, with a little push from family, that Natalie mustered the courage to introduce herself by the pool. They shared their love of medicine and Jared found her intelligence intoxicatingly attractive. The connection was immediate and electric, sparking a love that felt destined and continues to grow day by day.

Natalie: "I joke that I had to wait until I was 38 and travel halfway across the country to find my soulmate, Jared. So single people, have hope! "
