Nick and Jeneva got engaged on November 4, 2023. They had been dating for almost two years, but they had known each other for several years prior. With both of them being SASA alumni, 1903 N. Niagara is naturally where they met and fell in love. Despite Nick's failed attempt to go on a date with Jeneva in 2018, the couple started dating in May 2022, right before they graduated high school.

Their love was destined from the beginning, as if it were written in a storybook or a rom-com. In 2018, Nick wrote his phone number in Jeneva's yearbook in an attempt to snag a date. Unfortunately, Jeneva never saw the note, and they never went on that date. But that didn't mean the end of their love story. Fortunately, they somehow managed to have all of the classes with less than ten students together, making the couple pretty good friends throughout their middle school and high school years. During their final year at SASA, there happened to be a glitch in the scheduling system and neither Nick nor Jeneva were assigned lockers at the beginning of the school year. Thanks to alphabetization and chance, the pair ended up with lockers right next to each other. Throughout the year, the two began mingling more, and slowly realized that seeing each other at the end of the day was the best part of both of their days (cue the "aww").

One day, Jeneva asked Nick to be her dance partner in the dance concentration's production piece: "Grease". Despite his excitement to finally have a chance at going on a date with the girl of his dreams, Nick said "let me think about it" (he wanted her to feel the same suspense that he felt for three and a half years). Jeneva was sad, especially since she thought that his response meant no. She reluctantly went to Chem Club, where Nick was co-president. She sat in the back, feeling somber, when he suddenly gave her a thumbs up and shouted from across the room, "yes!" She was so surprised and so excited. They spent weeks learning dances and having fun and they began officially 'talking'. They went on their first coffee date of many (which was the result of a bet) during this time.

The night of the concert came, and they had the time of their lives dancing and putting on their final performance on the SASA stage. After the show, Nick surprised Jeneva with a bouquet of roses and a handwritten letter expressing his feelings for her, and that he wanted to go on an official date. However, Jeneva was exhausted that night and the next day was the prom, so she didn't open the letter for three whole days. They saw each other at prom and had their first dance together, and Nick had $20 taken from the DJ for a song request that never got played. She finally answered him after the eventful weekend, and they went on their first official date to see Doctor Strange: Multiverse of Madness.

Along with many others, Nick contracted COVID from the prom and stayed home from school. Jeneva stayed home as well out of caution, since the boy she just went on a date with and all of her friends had COVID. The couple spent the next week group watching movies on Disney+ and were almost always on the phone with each other. Although there was a pause in the couple physically seeing each other, this was a time at which they both look back at fondly.

The couple started officially dating soon after and had happily shared the next year and a half together. Nick proposed on November 4, 2023, and the couple has been experiencing life and navigating college and adulthood together ever since then. They are enjoying their engagement while they finish their degree programs (Nick—Welding Engineering Technology; Jeneva—Ecology, Evolution, & Organismal Biology) and are very excited to take on married life. They are just as (if not more) crazy about each other as they were in the beginning stages of their relationship. This event has been one that was dreamt about within months of the couple dating, and has been long awaited. They truly cannot wait to be taking this next step and joining their lives together once and for all.
