Tony and Nicole spoke on the phone for one week when they realized their friendship was like none other. They met within 7 days on a Sunday evening and have not been without each other a Sunday from that day.

Within time (weeks) they knew they wanted to spend the rest of their lives together. From river tubing, international cooking classes, camping, and pilot's aircraft's these two were inseparable. Tony and Nicole knew they had finally met their lifetime match and in all capacities, their lives began to grow together and flourish. Within 6 months, the two decided to begin a non-profit organization in Tony's father's name to give a lasting legacy beyond their lives. They are committed to bringing education, medicine and goods to children in impoverished communities throughout the world.

On a visit to their first location in Guatemala, surrounded by their close friends, the Arriola family, Tony arranged for an unforgettable day. They climbed up his best friends farm, overlooking a breathtaking view of volcanoes and mountains. After taking a moment to commemorate a lost loved one, Tony bent down on one knee and asked Nicole to marry him. Shocked, overwhelmed and adoringly, Nicole said, "Of course!" Twice!

Tony and Nicole anxiously await to be wed and anticipate the day to see their closest friends and family in sharing the love and joy they have for one another in their holy matrimony.
