Our Wedding

Nicole &&nbsp;Dylan's&nbsp;story began in High School, 2006. They&nbsp;were both freshmen in high school, getting use to the new changes in life. Nicole caught eye of Dylan&nbsp;and maybe found some interest in him.&nbsp;Both of them&nbsp;were the freshmen without phones... as kids&nbsp;did back in the day, they wrote notes to each other and&nbsp;&nbsp;would pass notes in between classes. Although they&nbsp;never dated in high school&nbsp;&nbsp;they remained&nbsp;&nbsp;friends throughout the years.

Fast forward to a stormy&nbsp;summer night&nbsp; of&nbsp;2012,&nbsp; they&nbsp;met again at a&nbsp;good friend,&nbsp;Nicky T's parent's house along with&nbsp;a few&nbsp;other friends. Later that night, Nicole received a text message from a number she had not saved in her phone. (Hint:Dylan).&nbsp;He would text her everyday wondering what she was doing. Nicole wasn't very sure about that, and would constantly ask her best friend Rachel, "Why is he texting me?" "Do I&nbsp;hangout with him?" Eventually, they started to spend time together. That time was really Nicole talking and Dylan just listening. (Or was he not listening...hm?)&nbsp;That summer they took their first date to Yogurt Lab and did a small walk by the Lake.&nbsp;&nbsp;







That fall, they&nbsp;started dating. They&nbsp;also broke up. Their&nbsp;relationship wasn't perfect as they&nbsp;&nbsp;went to two different colleges and had a lot of life experiences going on.&nbsp;







Winter of 2012&nbsp;and early 2013, they&nbsp; decided to try things out&nbsp;again. They would&nbsp;spend&nbsp;time&nbsp;going on walks/hikes, sitting at&nbsp;the lakes, eating out, ICE&nbsp;CREAM dates (Nicole's favorite), spent time with&nbsp;family&nbsp;and close friends. &nbsp;They as love to&nbsp;travel together; ocean's being their top&nbsp;favorite destinations and&nbsp;Nicole spent&nbsp;the next three years traveling to watch Dylan and his teammates&nbsp;compete in college&nbsp;wrestling.







After college, in 2015, they&nbsp;both moved back to the city, got a house and with a lot of help,&nbsp;fixed it up! They&nbsp;started a fur family with a Frenchie&nbsp;dog, Gator, then&nbsp;grew by finding out they&nbsp;were pregnant with a&nbsp;little girl, Brynlee.&nbsp;







The Engagement: Dylan decided he wanted to "take pictures" for his sponsor, Virus, at 6:30am. ("SERIOUSLY?"-Nicole) Nicole didn't have a choice but&nbsp;to tag&nbsp;along. Dylan's teammate and friend, Alec&nbsp;Ortiz and his Wife Deanna were the photographers of his pictures and&nbsp;engagement. After about a two mile hike through the wet lands and far too many mosquito bites, Dylan popped the question! Nicole wasn't as shocked and didn't cry as Dylan assumed she would but she was definitely excited!Dylan was super nervous, but like any typical "tough"&nbsp;guy&nbsp;he wont admit it.. as he was shaking like crazy.







They've&nbsp;built&nbsp;their&nbsp;relationship&nbsp;with&nbsp;many&nbsp;challenging&nbsp;life&nbsp;experiences,&nbsp;family and&nbsp;friends, vacation and adventurous, and now a&nbsp;little family. They are&nbsp;so excited to tie the knot with their&nbsp;closest family and friends on&nbsp;October 12th, 2018 and&nbsp;continue conquering life together!&nbsp;&nbsp;
