“Only 2% of all marriages consist of dating from high school.”

Nickolas and Melissa grew up in the same hometown, the Florida Keys however did not formally meet until the summer of 2014. Nickolas and Melissa had a friend group in common which lead us to each other. Their friendship turned into a relationship August 1st, 2014 when Nickolas asked Melissa to be his girlfriend, on National Girlfriend Day! Of course, Melissa said yes, and the rest is history.

Nickolas has been around for the major life events Melissa has accomplished and vice versa. They were together when Nickolas entered high school and navigated the halls of Coral Shores High School. They have accomplished so much together from starting high school, getting our drivers license, Nick getting his first car, endless hours of supporting each other for sports, graduating high school, moving out of the Keys to Miami, moving from Miami to Tallahassee, COVID, graduating college, and now getting married.

They have been blessed to be with each other through all of life’s challenges and successes. Their love is admirable and will continue to flourish throughout the years.

They stand here before their friends and loved ones, ready to start one of the greatest journeys yet. They are true high school sweethearts.

“If I know what love is, it is because of you.”

-Hermann Hesse
