Most of you know our story, but why not tell it again?!

In 2018 Nicholas moved to Oahu to open a new Whole Foods store. Tatum was a bartender at one of Nicholas' stops on his bar hopping journey home from work, Lulus Waikiki. He often came in with his partner in crime, Danny, wet hair from a dip in the ocean, skateboard in hand, ready to have a couple cold Maui Big Swell IPAs. Tatum was deep in her blue hair phase, slangin' beers for the boys whenever they'd pop in. All her coworkers teased her that Nicholas had a crush on her but she was reluctant to go on a date with a bar patron. That little saga went on for about 6 months before one frustrating night, the day after halloween, Nicholas was the last man standing at Tatum's bar. She asked him if he'd like to get a drink with her after work and the rest is history.

They rarely spent days apart after that. Many beach days, date nights, camping trips, and Lulus family parties followed. They decided to move in together within 6 months and a few weeks after that they adopted a dog together. Just about 4 years into their blossoming relationship Nicholas and Tatum decided it was time to move back to the mainland and begin a new adventure together. September 2022 they packed their (many many) banana boxes and headed to Boise, Idaho.

After one whole year of new seasons, new jobs, new friends, and another new dog, Nicholas proposed to Tatum on their 5 year anniversary with all 3 dogs in toe on a beautiful beach on a lake. Their journey started on the beaches of Hawaii and they can't wait to continue them in the mountains of Idaho and where ever else life may take them.
