Bella and Nick met in their senior year of college and from the day they met, they knew it was something special. But Bella and Nick were not the only ones who felt a special connection from the beginning - Perdita, Bella’s beloved childhood dog, also fell in love with Nick!

Shortly after they met, Nick lost his childhood dog, Moose, and Perdita was diagnosed with terminal cancer. The next few months were a difficult time, but Bella and Nick faced every challenge and hard day together. They took Perdita on countless adventures to finish her “bucketlist,” like visiting Sturbridge Christmas Village and driving to Georgia over winter break for one last “summer.”

One adventure Perdita did not expect was getting a baby brother, but just a month after they met, Bella and Nick adopted Pongo.

Despite all the difficult times they faced during the first few months they knew each other, Bella and Nick found that being together was effortless. Even after seeing each other through some of the most trying times, like losing Miss Perdita towards the end of senior year, their relationship never wavered. Simply put, they were best friends, and never got tired of spending every moment together.

So it was logical that they would want to spent forever together!

Nick and Bella are excited for a future filled with countless adventures, staying up late talking [because no matter how much time they spend together, it never seems to be enough!], finding comfort in each other when difficult days come around, growing and changing together for decades to come, and most importantly, raising their beloved dogs together ❤️
