Our story first began in middle school. We "dated" for about a week until Abbey said "see ya"... fast forward to 2021, Mark asked Abbey if there were any openings in the kitchen at Earth Wood and Fire, where she was a waitress at the time. We were working together and a few months later, we found out we were crushing on each other.

During a work get together at Buffalo Wild Wings, we stayed later than anyone talking each other's ears off. Our first date was at Bertucci's, where neither of us enjoyed the pizza, but pretended to so we could continue to connect. On November 5, 2021, we officially became a couple.

Instantly, we knew this would be forever. In the summer of 2023, during the ride home from family vacation at Myrtle Beach, Mark made us stop to check out a "fishing spot" at North Topsail Beach, North Carolina. He told Abbey to look at the dolphins near the buoy and got on one knee before she could see.

We are excited to see where our future takes us and thankful for those who we have connected with and have supported us along our journey!

- The future Mr. & Mrs. Nicolaus
