Nick and Marisa’s love story began on a cold and chilly day in January of 2016. The two celebrated Valentine’s Day together which began the beginning to their forever.

Nick and Marisa originally met in the summer of 2012 through mutual friends. The two formed a wonderful friendship that grew into something stronger in 2016. Nick was at Oscars in downtown Midland with a couple buddy's when Marisa walked in. The two began talking and catching up. Nick rode with Marisa to a buddy’s house where a few of our friends were gathered having a party in their garage. That evening Marisa gave Nick a ride back to his house where they exchanged their new numbers and promised to keep in touch more. Fast forward to the following weeks, Nick had invited Marisa over for dinner many nights, they went for many walks through the woods, enjoyed playing pool at Frick’s, and just being around each other’s company. On February 10th, 2016, Nick asked Marisa to be his girlfriend. Their first Valentine’s Day was celebrated doing things they both loved - target shooting.

Nick and Marisa’s love grew even stronger as the years passed. On the 6th day of June in 2017, Marisa went into the doctors for a minor procedure to remove a mole that was causing concern. At this doctor’s appointment, Marisa found out she was growing something magical, something beautiful. It was both scary and exciting. Marisa called Nick and asked if they could have a ‘Picnic’ which Nick thought was ‘odd’ and knew instantly something was going on because Marisa never asks for "picnic's". This magical moment led to us to discussing the future and to our handsome son; Liam. From this moment on, Nick and Marisa have worked together every day to build their forever.

There have been many ups and many downs, but we wouldn’t want to have these experiences with anyone else.
