Reception

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.

Our Story

Our Wedding

She said, "Of course!"

While visiting Guatemala, Tony &amp; Nicole visited a small Mayan family they have sponsored in bringing education and medicine to their children. Tony planned to show her the breathtaking views near a family sentimental location. Tony took Nicole 7,000 feet up on a mountain and confessed his love to her as he proposed! With the help from his endearing Arriola family, every minute of this captivating moment was filmed. Tony surprised Nicole with a gorgeous diamond ring in the midst of trees, clouds and friends. Nicole was shocked and thrilled beyond belief! That evening they celebrated with an engagement dinner surrounded by volcanoes and music!"The love of my life took me up the clouds to propose and we began to dream of our future together!" ~ Nicole
