Craig & Nicole's love story begins in June of 2020 at Misty & Cam's BBQ. They met and quickly bonded over tequila shots, movie quotes, and had their first kiss. The two quickly fell in love over the next few weeks over dates at half-empty restaurants (covid), charcuterie boards, Jameson & ginger ales, and evening walks. He surprised her for her birthday in July with a duffy boat ride through Newport Marina (where this photo was taken) and the tallest bouquet of flowers Nicole had seen. That summer, Nicole spent most of her time at Craig's apartment in Belmont Shore, and they decided to move into their first home together in February of 2021. After nearly three years spent together, Craig asked Nicole to marry him on January 7th, 2023.
