Our Wedding

Nick and Karen met at Graceland University on the basketball court. They both shared the love for the game which eventually flourished into a love for one another. They spent countless hours in the gym getting to know one another while pushing each other to be the very best versions of themselves on and off the court. After five very short years went by, they both agreed they wanted to spend the rest of their lives making endless memories together. 

How we met♥️
