Our Wedding

Gillian and Nick met the same way most people do at their age, on a dating app. Nick sent her a digital rose along with a quote from Gillian's favorite character from her favorite video game. Honestly, it was love at first ping. Though the two felt and instant connection, it took some time for the couple to meet face-to-face. The world was still recovering from the pandemic and Nick was recovering from a broken wrist.

After a month of texting, the two finally met at Foundation Tiki Bar on February 26th, 2021. They chatted and sipped on cocktails until the bartender shouted for last call. It was only midnight and the two were having too nice of a time to end the date, so Gillian suggested another bar. “It's not the coolest. It's kind of dive-y and old, but I really like it. It's called Landmark Lanes.” It was a surprise Nick didn't propose then and there.

Gillian and Nick's lives were quickly intertwined. In September 2021, the couple, along with Gillian's cat Nihlus, moved into a condo in downtown Milwaukee. They enjoyed their lives in the city and spent most of their time hanging out with friends, running along the lakefront, and standing outside the taco trucks after bar close. Outside Milwaukee, Gillian and Nick traveled to Utah, Colorado, Alaska, Canada, Germany, France, Switzerland, and Japan together.

In Basel, Switzerland, Nick got down on one knee and presented Gillian a ring of diamonds and moss agate. He asked her to marry him, and she of course said, “yes.”

The two now live in a house in Glendale, Wisconsin. Many plans for the future lie ahead.
