Our Wedding

Kristin and Nick first met during their second year at the University of Scranton, thanks to mutual friends. Their first encounter was spent eating shrimp po boy together at the universitys dining hall. Many days and nights spending time together and going out with mutual friends eventually led to solidifying their relationship. Through their college years, Kristin and Nick grew both as partners in crime and also as individuals. During the pandemic, Nick spent 3 months living with Kristin and her parents at their house in CT. Despite the tragedies and difficulties that arose during this time, the couple agree to this day that it somehow brought them closer than they ever thought possible. Since then, Kristin and Nick have been living together while pursuing their careers in occupational therapy and finance, living first in Southern MD, and eventually moving to Northern VA where they couldnt be happier together!
