Nate and Copeland met at West Florence High School through mutual friends during her Freshman year and Nate's Sophomore year. A group of them would spend their lunch break in their science teacher’s room. It started as a friendship and then they became each other’s person. After a year of dating, they realized the timing just was not right so they broke up in 2018 and did not reconnect until 2022. They picked back up like no time had passed and ever since then, they have been inseparable. Their first date was at Copeland’s house where they watched a scary movie and their second first date in 2022 was at Nate’s hunting club where they rode the tractor and looked for arrowheads.
When it came for Nate to propose, they were spending July 4th at Copeland’s lake house with her family and a few friends. Copeland’s friend Jacelyn always has a disposable camera for when their group gets together so they were taking pictures like they always do, Copeland was taking the other couple’s pictures and when it came to their turn, Nate took a step back, and said, “I can’t wait any longer, I told you 6 years ago that this day would come, I love you. Will you marry me?” She says he claims he never had a plan, and that he was just waiting for the right time and it most certainly was!
When asked what they love about one another, Copeland says she loves how honest he is and he always tells her the truth making her the best she can be. Nate says he loves how she loves him for who he is. She has a caring heart and is always going out of her way to do kind things for other people. She corrects him when he is wrong and makes him a better person every day. Together you can find them doing everything together! They love to play pickleball and Nate is very active and loves to plan activities and Copeland is always right behind and down for whatever!
