We often laugh about how love found us when we least expected it. Our story is proof that sometimes, the best things in life are right under your nose - or in our case, just a few houses down!

Growing up, we were childhood neighbors, just familiar faces passing each other on the street. But it wasn't until the summer of 2018 that our paths truly crossed. Nat was working at the local coffee shop, and Geoff started dropping in regularly on his way to his summer internship. We chatted a bit and then ended up going out for sushi.

It wasn't until our second date that we had our "aha" moment. When Geoff offered to pick me up, we both suddenly realized we'd been neighbors all along! We couldn't believe we'd spent our childhoods so close yet had never really connected until then.

That first summer we dated was magical. Our "commute" to see each other was practically non-existent - just a short walk down the street. We'd often joke that we had the best dating situation ever, with the convenience of being so close yet the excitement of a new relationship.

Last summer, we took a big leap forward in our journey together. We bought our first house, turning our childhood proximity into a permanent arrangement. It felt like coming full circle - from childhood neighbors to homeowners and soon-to-be newlyweds.
