Nat and Eliana met at school in 2016 when they were 13 and quickly developed a friendship. Within a few months, Eliana expressed their feelings for Nat who reciprocated a month later. However, after a year, they moved to different schools and kept in touch through D&D sessions with their friends. In 2019, Eliana asked Nat to prom and they officially started dating. They continued their long distance relationship via texting, then calling, and finally driving across the state to visit each other. Nine years later, in May of 2025, down the street from the school where they met, they proposed to each other with rings they forged together. Finally, after a decade, 395,338 texts, and an incalcuable number of late-night drives on I-35, they're excited to start this next stage of their life together.
