Abigail and Nathan
When Abigail and Nathan met while working at a digital advertising and tech firm in Santa Monica, they quickly realized they were meant to be more than just colleagues. Thanks to much help from family and friends, the two wed just eight months after Abigail accepted Nathan's Christmas Day proposal. They said their I do's in the fresh air of Redstone, Colorado, the bride's hometown, with the Rocky Mountains as their backdrop.
