Our Wedding

It was a cold winter night in early 2012, when they finally met. They were talking to each other for a couple of weeks, they met online on a website called MyYearBook, for finding friends around your area. The actual date they met is unsure but they remember it like it was yesterday. They didn’t do much but they both loved smoking marijuana and that’s what they did together. While they both felt a spark much of nothing happened for a good year, they hung out as friends a couple of times until Nicole had to move to Toms River. While they didn’t lose contact with each other and remained friends Nicole had a lot on her plate but Manuel stayed a close friend to her. Once Nicole moved back north they met up on Mother’s Day of 2013 and that’s where they shared their first kiss, still not becoming more than friends they both knew their friendship was getting deeper. A few weeks later Nicole found herself in some legal trouble and had to spend a week in jail the night before she was released she had an epiphany and knew that Manuel was the love of her life. The moment she left that place she immediately called Manuel and that’s where their story starts, Manuel moved her into his home and a week later asked her to be his girlfriend. And the rest is history, they have been through soo much in their relationship of 10 years from being homeless twice to family members trying to screw them over to having a beautiful daughter together to Nicole getting very sick and almost dying to getting a new apartment to an engagement in NYC, Nicole’s favorite place. They have been through hell and back a few times and never once gave up on each other, always having each others back during it all. They have beat all odds against them within the first 10 years of their relationship and they will continue to beat the odds in their lives together. Nicole & Manuel are the true reason of relationship goals if we ever saw one.
