Our Wedding

The past four years of the future Merkes’ lives have absolutely flown by with the help of the Global Pandemic and the best little surprise of their life. Nicole and Derek’s Tinder love story began with the help of a matchmaker and pre-screener- AKA Nicole’s big sister, Brooke- back in 2020. After many nights of conversation, games of iMessage Beer Pong and memorable dates, Nicole and Derek decided to make it official. December 22nd became special for another reason besides Nicole’s birthday. Just a few months into their relationship and Nicole’s senior year of college & basketball, the Pandemic began. Derek greeted this opportunity with open arms, saving the day by offering for Nicole to stay with him after her dorms closed. Since we all know how the proceeding months-to-years went when the world shut down, we know Nicole and Derek spend A LOT Of time together, making memories (and more) at home. The “and more” news came in February of 2022 when our Bride & Groom found out a bundle was on the way. This bundle, baby Mitchell, has been the best thing Nicole, Derek & their families could’ve dreamed of. Now, they are excited to become a family of Merkes’ and cannot wait to have you join the celebration!
