Nate & Teri: Wedding in Mexico

[BOND MAGAZINE]

Nate & Teri - San Francisco

Teri and Nate saw each other at parties before Nate finally asked her out. “Nate thinks I didn’t even know who he was for the first few meetings. Not true! I just thought he was a cute, flirty kid – not the type who wanted to settle down. Obviously I was wrong.” The day Nate proposed, they were driving up to Sonoma for the weekend. “Nate was so quiet and acting very weird. I thought he wanted to break up with me and was racking my brain trying to figure out what went wrong. As soon as we checked into the hotel, Nate got down on one knee and proposed – he couldn’t wait. We rented bikes and cruised around the vineyards in a post-proposal haze. I felt high – he felt relieved.”

Their wedding was at a small resort outside of Puerto Vallarta. “There were 50 people just hanging out on the beach having a good time. I didn’t get caught up in the fluff. It was a blast, but our vows were kind of weird. The ceremony was done in Spanish, so Nate didn’t understand them. The officiant totally forgot the ring exchange. I vowed to be a dutiful wife and make babies!” Their boy Jonah is now 6 months old.
