Darcy & Nick

November 1, 2024 • Chicago, IL

Our Origin Story

Darcy and Nick met at the Graham Crackers comic book store in downtown Chicago. After chatting about comics, movies and all things geeky, the two went for coffee, then dinner and then had to endure a long distance relationship between five countries. When Darcy came back to Chicago the two began their adventure as a couple and soon moved in together.


After a few years in the city where they met they took a chance on a completely different location: Scottsdale, Arizona. There they met new friends, enjoyed new experiences and of course adopted their adorable rabbits: Fiver and Cupid. Although Arizona was good to them the two missed the excitement of the city where they met. Yearning for frigid weather, Chicago cuisine and trains the two brought came back with their bunnies in tow.


Now after 11 years the two are finally jumping into the next adventure with their wedding. They're so excited for their big day and they can't wait to share it with you.
