Our Love Story

﻿Back in November of 2022, Logan surprised Natasha with a date to the Shane Co (Diamond Store). They looked at rings and found "the one." The following week, they returned with Logan's mom to look for his ring while Natasha tried out different diamonds in her setting. Logan purchased the rings that day, but held off on the diamond. Logan returned later for the diamond, because he wanted the proposal to be a surprise. In July of 2023, she knew where he kept the rings. It wasn't a secret. Natasha said to herself don't open it, but she was also curious. There it was, the ring with the diamond. She figured the proposal was coming soon. July 11th is their anniversary and it was getting close to that date. One day he just asked out of nowhere, "When was the last time you looked at the rings?" with a smirk on his face. He honestly didn't know that she knew the diamond was there, so of course Natasha told Logan the truth. Since then, there were five opportunities where he was going to propose, but either something happened or the timing didn't feel right, but they both knew it was coming. Monday before the proposal happened Natasha thought of the idea of proposing to Logan. At that point it would be more of a surprise, because he wouldn't expect it. He kept jokingly telling her, "At this point I think you need to propose." Natasha called her mom and his mom and they both loved the idea. In search of the perfect setting, Natasha and her mom drove around Forest Grove's parks and schools where they shared special memories. Natasha was aiming toward doing it on the football field at the high school. But it wasn't until they pulled into the parking lot that the perfect proposal spot came to mind."I need to do it in the spot where we first officially became boyfriend and girlfriend freshman year in 2009," she said to her mom.&nbsp;That evening Natasha and her mom went to go find the spot. At first, it was kind of tricky to find due to the remodeling and structural changes made in recent years. Finally, the girls found the spot that used to be a gravel seating area outside the cafeteria. Now it was a pathway with bushes around it. Natasha's mom decorated the spot on the following Saturday and sent a photo to Natasha when it was complete. Meanwhile, Natasha had Logan's mom call and ask us to go to her house to retrieve an important package that had been delivered. Logan said he would run over to the house, but Natasha insisted not only on accompanying him, but on driving as well. Logan was totally confused and didn't know what the big deal was so he headed down stairs to the car. Natasha grabbed the rings and ran after him and yelling, "It's a surprise!" He then thought that the delivery had to be a PlayStation 5 for him. Natasha had queued their song "Lucky," by Jason Mraz, to play as they neared the high school. As they pulled up to the high school Logan wondered what they were doing there and why they weren't heading to the house for the package. She lead him to their special spot with the plan of them proposing to each other.&nbsp; 09.16.23

Our Engagement Story

Our Story

Through the years

"And at last I see the light"

Once upon a time...

Photos

Ashe moved down from Montana in 2010. She and Logan became fast friends while bonding over video games (Shout out Kingdom Hearts), music, and deep conversation. 
A decade and some change into the future, they remain as close as family.  Natasha knew Ashe from 2010 as well, but once Logan and Natasha got back together in 2020 the girls both clicked instantly. Makes since they are both Virgo's 1 day apart from one another.

Ashe Korpi

2008 a student  in world study says, "I can't believe The Dark Knight won over Twilight." Emily and Natasha say "Twilight sucks," .....instant best friends. When their friendship formed they  discovered they had actually attended preschool together, finding themselves side by side in countless photos and videos from their early years.

Emily Rivera 

The sister of the bride. With an age difference of 10 years, younger sister, Natasha, describes their sibblingship in three stages. Stage 1, Big sister, has fun playing with the baby-toddler. Stage 2, "I'm a teenager and you're just a kid." Stage 3, two grown women who share a strong bond.

I've always looked up to Sammie. When she had her first child, Hailey, I said to myself, "I want to be a mom just like my sister." 

P.S. I'm sorry I snuck into your bedroom in 2001 and accidentally spilled bubbles on your VHS tape of "Bring It On," and destroyed it. 

Samantha Berovic 

 The niece of the bride. On our wedding day, Hailey will be 15 years old.  Natasha was 14 when she was a bridesmaid in Hailey's mom's wedding. She is excited and  honored to have them both as bridesmaids. Natasha has enjoyed watching Hailey grow up. Among their memories they share one of Natasha's favorites would be all the times she dressed Hailey up in costumes and outfits giving her photoshoots. The same thing her mom did with Natasha when she was a little girl. 

Hailey Berovic

In 1992, the girls mom's met on a 3rd grade class filed trip to OMSI for their older daughters. The older sisters took gymnastic's classes at a center that was once in Forest Grove, where their older sisters took classes. Both mom's were pregnant, so theoretically, Kimi and Natasha hung out together at gymnastics and were friends even before they were ever born. In actuality, they've been close friends for 30 years and counting!

Kimi Whittington

Natasha and Laura met in Basic Design class the year 2009. She was a Freshmen and Natasha was a sophomore. They agreed that meeting each other was the best thing that happened to each of them that year. 

Laura Asp

"I don't recall how I got his number, but I had it. One night during my sophomore year, I was out late riding bikes and got a nail in my tire near the FG skate park. On a whim I decided to hit up this Tanner guy, who I hadn't met in person or even spoken to prior, to see if he could somehow get me a lift home. 

He made it happen. Made plans to hangout 'officially' for the first time on our ride back. 

Over the last 14 years, he's maintained that kindness and reliability and I can't think of a better person to call my Best Man."

Tanner Aust

Logan and Sarge met while working at Tree to tree around 2015. Years later, life circumstances brought them back into each other's circles. This would lead to "The Three Musketeers" story arc. It is a wholesome tale about three single friends living out in the boonies together. Of the thousands of memories made during that time, Tanner and Izzy finding love for each other is near the top and Logan takes full credit!
