Ananda and Nick’s love story began on a magical Christmas weekend in 2021. Ananda traveled from Los Angeles to Mesa, Arizona, to spend the holiday with a mutual friend, where she was introduced to Nick. They felt an instant connection. The night they met they shared their first kiss and Nick even took off his own shoes for Ananda to wear after she showed discomfort. He walked around the city in his socks as he carried her heels. From that night on, they spent the entire weekend together, knowing there was something special between them.

Even after Ananda returned to Los Angeles, they communicated every day and would fall asleep together on FaceTime every night. Just a month after they met, Nicholas invited Ananda on a work trip to Mexico with his grandmother. From the moment she met Ananda, Nicks grandmother believed she was the one, often saying they were the perfect balance for each other.

The first year of their relationship was spent long distance, with Nick flying Ananda to Arizona twice a month and having her live with him during his summer sales. In May 2023, they officially closed on their home and got their first kittens together, Sushi and Mochi. In the summer of 2024, they welcomed their first puppy together, Sade.

Their journey led them to December 16, 2023, when Nick proposed to Ananda in their home, surrounded by their love and the memories they had created together.

They are so grateful to have found each other and cannot wait to celebrate their love with friends and family on their special day.
