Nicole saw Nicholas for the first time at their mutual friends wedding. Nicholas was the best man and Nicole took note of him and made a comment to the Bride, Sam, that she thought the best man was a cutie. Of course Nicole said nothing to Nicholas that night but a few months later the same mutual friends set them up. They instantly hit it off at a game night over tacos, codenames, and silly business ideas.

Their first official date was a few days later up in Akron. The conversation was natural and they enjoyed every minute of their time together. They both noticed each others love for others and love for God in their early conversations. Nicole and Nicholas were both so excited to see where this new relationship could take them. For the next few months Nicole and Nicholas continued to make long distance work by visiting each other and meeting up in the middle for dates. They absolutely loved meeting each others friends and family's for the first time, a weekend that Nicole has coined as "hometowns."

Nicole and Nicholas' feelings continued to grow over the summer and into the fall when Nicholas finally told Nicole he loved her. She couldn't be more ready to tell him that she loved him too. As time went on Nicole and Nicholas started talking about and envisioning there future lives together more and more. They can't wait to start this next chapter of life.

Time and time again God has been faithful in the timing of their relationship and this was shown once again through the proposal that was disguised as a birthday dinner. Nicholas proposed to Nicole at the Cleveland Public Library in the beautiful floral art exhibit. They couldn't be more excited to relive the night and tell the story to their family and friends over the next few days.

Nicholas and Nicole are loving this beautiful and exciting time of being engaged and can't wait to celebrate the start of the rest of their lives together.
