Our Wedding

In 2018, Nicole and Nolan met at a frat party, the most romantic college setting, not expecting to end up where they are today. After a few weeks, Nolan asked Nicole on a date and they were at Meemom's eating crazy french toast and shocking all of their friends. In the six years they've been together, Nicole and Nolan gone through grad school, traveled around the world, celebrated holidays with each other's families, discovered favorite restaurants, became best friends with each other's friends, gotten an apartment, and most importantly adopted Zoey. On a completely unexpected day, Nicole and Nolan took Zoey to Rutgers Gardens, where they had one of their first dates, for a walk. When they got to the big green chairs where their first picture was taken, Nolan got down on one knee and asked Nicole to marry him. They can't wait for a lifetime of adventure, family, friends, travel, dogs, and everything in between. Nicole and Nolan can't wait to celebrate with all of their friends and family.

Our Story

Photos

Chloe and Nicole met in 8th grade advanced art class, and have been completely inseparable since. From trips to the beach, sleepovers every weekend, shopping trips, college visits, holidays, and more, Chloe has and continues to be Nicole's best friend through it all. Chloe is the most amazing teacher, friend, and hype woman anyone could ever have, and we can't wait to have her by our sides when we say "I do."

Marissa and Nicole met their freshman year at Rutgers when they lived on the same floor in the dorms. From then on, Marissa and Nicole not only shared a bedroom, but years worth of college memories from going out, tailgates, nights staying in, sorority events,  fall activities, spring break, and so much more. We are so lucky to have Marissa in our lives forever.

Nicole and Allison met at Rutgers, and from then on did everything together. Whether it was a quick trip to put gas in the car, or a road trip to a family members house, it was always together. From tailgates, sorority events, football games, crafting, AEPI parties, and Shabbat dinners, to formals, shopping trips, family parties, holidays, wine and cheese nights, movie nights, and quoting vines, Allison holds a special place in Nicole's heart and life forever. Even though it's a long distance friendship, Nicole and Allison couldn't be closer, and foresee many OR to NJ and NJ to OR trips in the future.

Nicole and Jaclyn attended high school together, but didn't connect until they both we're going to Rutgers. Their dads set up a carpool back home, and the hour drive felt like 2 minutes. They ended up in the same sorority, and eventually as housemates, and have spent every day since then as best friends. Jaclyn is one of the kindest people on planet earth, but also knows how to have a good time. From bonfires, to all of the Jewish holidays, to bar hopping and nights in crafting, to new puppies and new families, Jaclyn was meant to come into Nicole's life. We are beyond happy Jaclyn is going to be standing by our sides.

Nicole never thought she would be so lucky to find a friend like Lauren. When Nolan introduced Nicole to Lauren, it felt meant to be. Since then, they've been going to brunch, shopping, double dating, traveling (Aruba yay), spending holidays and birthdays together, and so much more. Lauren literally gets eveyone around her dancing to the beat of her music, and we are so blessed to have Lauren in our lives.

Brooke and Nicole met at work while Brooke was living in Israel. One weekend, she was home and all of the girls met in NYC and from then forward, they turned work besties to real besties very quickly. From complaining about work all day, endless Facetimes, meeting and loving each other's doggies, traveling the world together, eating all of the seafood, online shopping, and being absolute bosses at work, Brooke and Nicole have a friendship unlike any other.  They are the same in so many things in life, and met at the perfect time in each other's lives. We can't wait for Brooke to be in our lives for ever and ever.

In the heart of covid, Nicole and Kaila both accepted jobs with the same company.  Although remote at the time, Nicole and Kaila realized how close they lived and decided to get brunch, and the rest was history. Throughout their friendship, Kaila and Nicole have gone to many concerts and festivals, had late night snack parties with our dogs in tow, cuddled her most precious cat Elvis, laughed at literally everything, called each other on every drive home, and so much more. Kaila is an incredible friend, and a smart, driven person with so much love to give. We are so excited to spend this day with her.

Ariella and Nicole honestly don't even remember how they met, but Rutgers Jewish life is their best guess. One day, they just ended up at the diner for breakfast and were best friends. Since that day, Ariella and Nicole have spent every Friday shopping and getting themselves little treats along the way. Nicole and Ariella share the same thoughts on so many things, and always have the best time no matter what they're doing. She fits into the Collins family so well, and will fit into the Brodskiy family just the same. Ariella is unapologetically herself in the best way, and we can't wait to have her as a part of our special day.
