About Us
Natalie and Darin met in 1996 at Santa Clara University. One of Darin’s high school math teachers, “Mr. Orlich” is a good family friend of the Miladinovich’s. Mr. Orlich asked Darin to “look out” for his “niece” as she was a freshman and Darin was a sophomore. They met and became good friends. After graduation they maintained their friendship by taking sign language classes together and chatting online. In November of 2000, after Darin spent the summer in New England working at a Children’s Summer Camp and Natalie had been in “retirement” something clicked. The two dated for about two years, and Darin proposed on December 5th, 2002. They were married at Santa Clara University on April 24, 2004.
