Hello friends and family, Nick here typing out our story. SOME details will definitely vary between Victoria's side of the story and mine. But here it is from my perspective. Happy reading.

April 2021. One day someone whom I used to work with a bunch (later became a buddy of mine) and I decided to hangout. We were working together and figured we'd start hanging out since we were around the same age. We later became gym buddies and later told me that his girlfriend at the time was having a bunch of teacher friends over (all women) and that he needed another guy to hangout with. I agreed to go.

That night, I got ready and had no clue what to expect. I went to the store, grabbed some beer and headed that way. Yup... he was right. It was him, his girlfriend, and 8 of her teacher girlfriends. Unbeknownst to me, they told Victoria that we were getting set up. This whole group liked to have a good time and soon we headed out to Avondale. For those not from the Charleston area, this is a small area in town that has just a few bars and laid back night life.

At one of the bars, Gene's, I was hanging out and at this point hadn't talked to Victoria much. She came walking up to me and said "HEY! Why aren't you talking to me? We're being set up!". I was so confused but started laughing and responded, "No we're not!". We talked for a little bit and then ended up in conversation the rest of that night out.

Fast forward November 2021, we finally went on a date and talked for those months leading up. After that date, we made it official. Yes, Facebook statuses were changed.

A few months later after grabbing dinner, we both said we loved each other and the rest is history.

Thanks for reading our story!

OKAY, Victoria here! Here is the rest of the story! Nick did a really good job at telling our story but missed a few parts. Once we made things "Facebook" official, we continued to build our relationship. We bought our first home together about 9 months later. I had moved to a new school in a new area and we were starting a new life in a new area. Fast forward to April 2024. I had planned for both of our families to come to our home after Easter. This included both of our parents, my sisters and their husbands, and my niece and nephew. I spent the entire week telling Nick how it would be the perfect time to propose because our family would be here. He kept telling me over and over that he agreed but he already had our engagement planned. I was so sad but I quickly changed my mood when all of my family was surrounding us and Nick got down on one knee. It was the best day of my life.

Here we are, a year after our engagement with a wedding coming up and our sweetest Brew boy puppy.
