Our Wedding

Our journey started in April 2019 the same way everyone else’s does - Bumble! We were both fed up with the dating scene in New York, and Natasha, in a last-ditch effort, decided to message Chris about his hiking pictures. It started a good conversation, but - more importantly - led to a date in Astoria.&nbsp; Our first date was going the normal slow and steady pace - until Natasha mentioned her random six-degrees connection with Parma FC (specifically, with Giuseppe Rossi). To Chris, that automatically qualified for a second date and called for 2am banana and chocolate chip pancakes at Neptune Diner (RIP).&nbsp; The second date in Morningside Heights solidified the relationship, ending with a 3 hour geography face-off that closed down the bar.&nbsp; Since then,&nbsp;we have been inseparable. As a couple, we have gone through things that truly test people - IKEA trips, apartment renovations, international travel…not to mention a deadly pandemic. None of it was easy, but we somehow managed to survive! On a sunny day in October 2023, we finally decided to seal the deal. The proposal was perfect, with Chris using one of our mutual hobbies - <a href="https://www.atlasquest.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">letterboxing</a> - in the gardens at Wave Hill. After 6+ years of laughs and adventures, we're so excited for you to join us in celebrating our next chapter together!
