Curt asked Natalia out and so began a whirlwind love affair. They moved in together within a month. Their first date was a rollerblading excursion in downtown Chicago along lake Michigan. They have been inseparable since they met. Most of their free time has been spent together. Besides going to school and work, they would go on picnics, stay up late watching Curt's large collection of movies, or go to Mustafa's pool together on a motorcycle. 11

It was perfect! The whole family was there to celebrate. They never talked about getting married before, and so they went shopping online for an engagement ring soon after.

It was an all- inclusive luxury resort with a lot of flexibility with the ceremony spots and reception areas.
