Natasha and Brent's love story begins as many do in the modern dating age, with a thoughtful like and comment on a photo. Captivated by both Natasha's beauty and the mystery of the Sagrada Familia, Brent bravely and earnestly commented, hoping for a quick reply. Surprisingly, Natasha saw potential in Brent and the two became a match. Witty, lighthearted conversation ensued and soon the duo arranged for a first date.

A little patience, a substantial helping of digital flirting, and a smidge of rescheduling culminated in a cutthroat round of putt-putt golf at Austin's own Peter Pan Mini-Golf. On that momentous February Saturday afternoon putting skills were challenged, egos were checked, and, while on paper Brent's score was the better, the pair left Peter Pan feeling as if they had both won. Enlivened, enchanting discussion carried the remainder of the afternoon as Brent and Natasha shared nachos and White Claws. And while the duo lost themselves in a lavender haze of laughter and fun, the Texas moon climbed high in the sky. Soon, the rumbling of their gastric juices signaled the eminent need for dinner. Not ready to for the fun to end, Brent and Natasha dined at an Austin classic - Matt's El Rancho, where the laughter and fun continued late into the night. Rumor has it, though it has never been confirmed, that the two may have shared a kiss in a Starbucks parking lot at the conclusion of the outing.

From that day on, the two were nearly inseparable. Their two worlds became one with the introduction of friends, family, and Brent's unhesitating adoption of the handsomest dog son, Ollie. They often spent each date planning their next date. On March 5th, 2023 Natasha and Brent became official as a couple when Brent asked Natasha to be his girlfriend, although she had already been referring to him as her boyfriend long before. That spring, summer, and fall were filled with magic and adventure as Natasha and Brent traveled, went to baseball and football games, attended church, and spent countless hours with family and friends. In August 2023, Brent made the decision to become Catholic after having attended church with Natasha since the two started dating. The pair attended RCIA together and, ultimately, Natasha became Brent's sponsor when he officially joined the Church.

Natasha faced her first great relationship test when she met Brent's six niblings (nieces and nephews) at Thanksgiving. Brent was clear that to move forward, Natasha would have to receive the approval of his niblings. The niblings are notoriously difficult to impress and yet Natasha passed with flying colors! Even the nit-picky niblings had to admit Auntie Natasha was quite a catch.

As the seasons turned and 2023 became 2024, Natasha and Brent's love grew. January 2024 began with another challenge for the couple as Brent was laid off of his job. But the two put their faith in the Lord that all would work out for the better and in March Brent found a new job not too far away in San Antonio (with lots of help and encouragement from family and friends- he'd like to emphasize). On April 10,2024, just a few days before moving to San Antonio, Brent surprised Natasha at the beautiful Schoenstatt Chapel in northwest Austin and asked her to marry him. And not surprisingly, she said "Yes!".

Once Natasha and Brent tie the knot they'll start their journey as husband and wife south of Austin in the historic city of San Antonio.
