Norah & Nathan

Our Love Story

Nathan and Norah met in 2020 while working together at Seed Savers Exchange. Nathan was the IT Systems Administrator and Norah was the Seed Bank Manager. Despite having all the same friends, Nathan and Norah rarely spent time together. On Wednesday, October 6th 2021, Nathan asked Norah to hang out after a going away party. But living in a small town, every restaurant was closed after 8pm. After trying three different, they finally found Rubiyat on Water st to be open.

The two lovebirds instantly hit it off over a gin martini and manhattan and talked for hours. Norah asked Nathan to walk her home, and the rest is history.
