It all started with a Zoom call 1,500 miles apart...

Nick and I met during the summer of 2021, when we both got hired on as interns at PNC Bank. This was during the time of COVID, so our entire 10 week internship was virtual. Nick is from Arizona, and I am from St. Louis. So, we never got to meet in person during the internship, but we spent a lot of time on calls getting to know each other. On our last day of the internship, we were chatting about trips we were going on for our senior year. We found out that we were both going to Vegas over Labor Day weekend and staying in the same hotel. When that trip came around, Nick reached out on the last day asking to finally meet in person. We decided to meet up and go out with our friends. From that point on, we texted and called each other every day.

Nick was still in school at University of Arizona and I was finishing up my last semester at Mizzou. We had both accepted full-time positions at PNC Bank and were planning to move to Kansas City for our jobs after graduation. Nick and his family had made a trip out to Kansas City during the fall semester to start looking for an apartment, and he asked if I would want to meet him out there to go on a date. The date went so well that he even asked me to join his family for dinner the next day.

I graduated school that December and moved to Kansas City to start my job in February. We made a couple trips between Arizona and Kansas City to see each other. When he graduated in May, he moved out to Kansas City and the rest was history.

We lived downtown in apartments that were one street away from each other, so we spent every day together. Eventually, I moved into his apartment with my little golden doodle, Phoebe. Soon after, he got our golden retriever, Charlie. As Charlie started to get bigger, we decided to move into a house in the suburbs as one little happy family. We love to spend our time together going to Chiefs games, traveling, cooking, hanging out with friends, and, of course, spoiling our puppies.

This past July, we were on a trip with my family in Hawaii, when Nick popped the question. He surprised me with a helicopter tour of the island, which landed by a waterfall. We got out to take pictures, when he got down on one knee... now, here we are.

We are so excited to celebrate our special day with each one of you. We couldn't be happier to start this next stage of life together as Mr. and Mrs. St John!
