Our Wedding

It’s been said that our story sounds like it’s out of a Hallmark movie, however cringy that is. We first met at the coffee shop, Los Dos Cristianos, where Nicole worked 2 days out of the week. Jake was a customer and would come in regularly, at least when Nicole was working! Months went by of casual visits at the coffee shop while Nicole was behind the bar. Sometimes there was casual conversation, sometimes there was flirting. However months went by with little more than that. Mostly because Jake didn’t know Nicole’s name for the first 4 months of their encounters! Then, Jake was missing for a month. Little did she know, he went away for the holidays and on vacation. For a while, Nicole was disappointed, but chalked it up to normal life. Even though she was very interested in getting to know him as a person, sometimes things don’t work out. He met someone else, he moved, who knew? Then, one day, Nicole came into the coffee shop to just enjoy the atmosphere on her day off. But when she turned around to sit down, there Jake was behind her! Shocked, the first thing out of her mouth was “you’re alive!”. After sitting together, they started to talk and get to know each other even better. After Jake meeting Fezzik (Nicole’s dog) they started discussing Jake’s dog, Indi. Then, it was mentioned that they should get together so the dogs could meet. With that, Jake gave his number. However, the dog meeting didn’t happen until date 2. The first date was an Italian restaurant, ice cream and longs walks all around Venice Florida, even down to the beach. It was evident on that first date, that this was different. Because of a coffee shop, and our pet dogs, the rest, so they say, is history. Now we are excited to come together with family and friends to celebrate this amazing blessings from God that is each other!
