Our Wedding

We met at the beginning of our freshman year at Seton Hall University. We spent Freshman and Sophomore years of college as good friends, who would hang out or talk whenever we got the chance. The summer after Sophomore year, we began texting almost every day, although more than half of those messages were requests to play Connect 4 over iMessage. 		Come the beginning of Junior year, romantic feelings had begun to develop. Prior to the start of the semester, we both told ourselves that we wanted to focus on coursework that semester and limit distractions. Naturally, we officially started dating on the second day of classes: August 28, 2018. 		Our first proper date was a New York Yankees game on September 14, 2018. The Yankees beat the Toronto Blue Jays 11-0, and we left Yankee Stadium happy. The win was great, but what we were really excited for was the start of an absolutely amazing relationship. We’ve been to a Yankees game every year, except 2020, since. 		We stood side by side through everything that life threw at us. We each needed to pass a grueling exam to start our careers: Allie needed to pass the NCLEX to become a nurse and Nick needed to pass the Bar to become an attorney. Both of us supported the other during those tough times, offering words of encouragement and the occasional study break. We both passed on the first try, and are thriving in those careers today, thanks to the support we received from each other. 		On December 7, 2024, after six long, happy years together, we finally got engaged. Allie could not have been more surprised. Nick conspired with both families and invited her over to go out for a fancy dinner for his mom’s birthday. When Allie got to Nick’s parents’ house for that “fancy dinner”, she couldn’t believe what she saw. She was greeted by a Christmas tree, snow on the ground, photos through the whole room, and the words “Marry Me” written in lights. Tears followed shortly after, and just like that we were engaged! 		Now, we’re knee deep planning a wedding and the rest of our lives together. It’s crazy to think that just about 10 years after we first met, in a dorm at Seton Hall, we’ll be married. If we learned anything over those ten years, it’s that everything is better when we’re together. We can’t wait for the big day, and for everything that comes after. “When you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible.”When Harry Met Sally
