Our Wedding

Our Story!

Nicky and Tommy met through a mutual friend at a New Year's Eve Party back in 2014, but it wasn't until May of 2016 that they got closer, and their story truly began. That first summer together was unforgettable, filled with date nights, concerts, soccer games, beach days, and The Big-E. They spent nearly every day together, building the kind of memories that make you realize you've found something special.

Nicky lost her older brother at the end of that summer, and started college 3 days later. The next few years were difficult. Nicky was dealing with the grief of losing her brother, and also her grandma in January of 2018, as well as the stress of pharmacy school. Then in September of 2018, Tommy lost his dad. Through grief, they found comfort in each other, learning what it meant to truly love and support someone.

Life, of course, has a way of testing love. Over the years, Nicky and Tommy faced heartbreak and loss- of family, of time, and of each other for a while. In 2019, they went their separate ways, needing time to grow on their own. But love has a funny way of finding its way back...

In June of 2021, they reconnected, stronger and more sure of what they wanted.

Just a few months later, they bought their first home, and soon after adopted their dog, Jameson.

On May 14, 2024, Tommy proposed on a family cruise! Their journey hasn't been perfect, but it's been real! Over the years they've experienced happiness, growth, healing, and love, and have been there for each other through many different phases. They are so excited to start this next chapter surrounded by the friends and family who've been part of their story all along!
