Our Wedding

Starting medical school together in fall of 2019, Maria and Nathan spent the first semester sharing quick conversations in between classes. Finally right before the end of the semester, Maria asked her best friend Kiersten "Hey do you mind texting Kieran [Nathan's best friend] to see if he is single? He's pretty cute." Kieran, looking out for his best friend, said "He's definitely single and interested."

December 2019- Best Friends turned Matchmakers

Our first date was at one of our now favorite local breweries, Woodburn Brewing. We spent hours chatting!

January 2020- Our first date!

Our Story

We have had so much fun going to weddings together over the years- can't wait to be each other's permanent plus one!
