Our Wedding

Nicole had just graduated high school (virtually) and was spending the evening with some of her friends. At the time, one of Nicole's friends was dating one of Nate's friends - and they decided to all get together that night. They spent time exploring Marsh Creek, driving around in the boys' pickup trucks, and afterwards grabbed food at Chick-Fil-A.

June 2, 2020 - The Day We Met!

After a couple of weeks of talking, Nate asked Nicole out on their first date. He picked her up in his Silverado and drove to dinner at Broad Run Country Club. After, they enjoyed some dessert at a local Mexican ice cream shop where they shared their first kiss!

June 17, 2020 - Our First Date!

It's official! Nate had finally asked Nicole to be his girlfriend. They shared this moment at Not Your Average Joe's, one of Nicole's favorite restaurants. (Little did they both know that 4.5 years later, this is the same place Nate would ask Nicole to marry him!)

June 28, 2020 - Officially Boyfriend and Girlfriend!

3.5 years of "long" distance! While both were in school, Nate and Nicole made it a priority to see each other essentially every other weekend. They visited each other at each college/university, spent time with friends, and sometimes would drive home together on weekends to see family. This time built a strong foundation for their relationship where they navigated lots of life events together from moving in and out of dorms/apartments, building relationships with each others' friends, enjoying summer and holiday breaks together, and graduation!

August 2020 - December 2023

With the help of real estate agent, Nate and Nicole found their first home! A 1700s log cabin house tucked away in a quiet neighborhood in West Chester, PA. This was the perfect first place for them - the house had so much character and history that made it feel so special.

November 27, 2024 - Moving In Together!

At the restaurant where Nate asked Nicole to be his girlfriend 4.5 years ago, he planned a special evening where he asked her to marry him at the very same spot! The two of them were so excited and happy to be taking this next step together. It was an evening they will cherish forever.

January 18, 2025 - We Are Engaged!

After soaking in the few weeks after their engagement, Nate and Nicole spent the next couple of weekends touring wedding venues in the area. They soon found their place - Lochwood Manor. From their first moments there, they knew this was a special place where they wanted to celebrate their wedding day. They booked the venue and date - August 22, 2026! Let the wedding planning begin!

February 16, 2025 - Wedding Venue Is Booked!

Our Story

Nicole's very first college friend! These two met during the first weeks of school at Penn State and quickly connected. They have been inseparable ever since. Allie is one of the sweetest, kindest, and good-hearted people Nicole knows. From standing by Allie's side on her wedding day last August to her standing on Nicole's side this August, their friendship is something they both will cherish forever. 

Allison Berko

Nicole's favorite sister! From playing Nintendo DS and Legos together to being by Nicole's side on her wedding day, these two have a unique sibling relationship. Caroline loves going to many, many concerts, traveling, and spending time with her guinea pigs. She is a passionate, energetic, and caring person - with very specific music taste! Nicole is very grateful to have her big sister stand with her on this special day.

Caroline Capuzzi

Nicole's college roommate! Molly is a vibrant, funny, and compassionate young woman. They've spent most of their time together laughing so much that they are usually out of breath! Molly is someone that Nicole can be completely herself around. From crazy, late nights to helping Nicole pick out her wedding dress, Molly is always a shoulder to lean on for Nicole. Nicole is extremely grateful to have someone like Molly in her life and to stand by her side on her wedding day!

Molly Askin

Nicole's inherited college friend! These two met through their boyfriends (who are now both of their fiancés!) in college at Penn Tech. From visiting the boys together to spending weekends in each others' town, Nicole and Abbi have developed a friendship of their own. Abbi is an understanding, thoughtful, and considerate person Nicole is lucky enough to call her friend. They are both getting married in 2026, and will be proudly standing by each other's side on their special days!

Abbi Riskus

Nate's best friend! These two enjoy spending their time together, whether it's at the range or having shop beers. They have gotten extremely close over the years and often have deep and meaningful conversations about their lives. Drew is someone Nate can always count on, and Nate is that person for Drew too! Nate is thankful to have a man like Drew by his side on his wedding day.

Drew Britt

Nate's college roommate! They met early on during their college days and have remained close ever since. They eventually introduced their girlfriends to one another and quickly, they all became close friends. In college, most of their time was spent together, hanging out with friends, and most likely getting into some trouble. Both men will be standing next to each other in 2026 on their wedding days!

Corbyn Haney

Nate's college friend! Logan and Nate are always laughing and having fun no matter where they are. These two met during their years at Penn College and luckily live close to each other back at home. Logan has been such a supportive and kind friend to Nate over the years and they are always doing something fun (and maybe dangerous) together! Nate is grateful to have a friend like Logan with him on this special day.

Logan Jerome

Nate's friend from high school! One of his oldest friends, Max can always be counted on to be the life of the party. These two enjoy spending time at the range and Pietro's Prime - they share a common love for martinis and steaks! Max is guaranteed to make everyone laugh and ensure they're having a good time. Nate is thankful to have Max by his side and his support on his big day.
