Valentine's Day 2023: Nicole and Nick, both found themselves saying, "Tonight may be the night I find my person." Little did they know that their dream would become reality that night at karaoke night. Nick walked in the bar, saw Nicole sitting at the very end and decided to grab the microphone and say to her, "you might want to watch this." Nick proceeded to serenade Nicole with the lyrics of You Make Me Feel So Young by Frank Sinatra. Nicole was in shock and awe. Nick then had the courage to ask Nicole her name and the two spent the night going back and forth singing songs until the bar closed. Nick wanted to see Nicole again so the two met for a date just a few days later, and he sealed the deal, as well as Nicole's interest, with a romantic good night kiss (there was also a bar fight going on across the street, talk about chaotic am I right?). Nick and Nicole went on a few more dates with one another. They played some darts and Nicole absolutely hustled Nick. Went house shopping for fun, because why not? Had brunch on the weekend and Nicole brought Nick up to speed on the "Swiftie" culture (that's Taylor Swift's fan base, just in case that was an unknown). Nicole even shared her love for horror movies with Nick after he told her about his passion for films and the two talked about movies they enjoyed, all while being lost in each other's eyes and sipping Nicole Specials (that's two green tea shots, pretty good stuff). On Easter Sunday things got more serious when Nicole introduced Nick to her grandparents and parents. Finally on April 18th, 2023, Nick asked Nicole to be his lady. Shortly after being officially a couple, Nicole met Nick's mom who was visiting and working in Ketchikan for the summer. With the fellowship of the Nics came many quests including: a trip to the Big Apple to see a dance competition as well as Sweeney Todd played by Josh Groban on Broadway (no, seriously it was the craziest thing ever, like we were in the same room as him!). The next stop was Las Vegas, where they experienced their first and last time share pitch but got to see the world-famous Zack Bagan Haunted Museum (you got to get the VIP pass if you go, totally worth it). The crux of their quests culminated on March 30th, 2024, 600 ft in the sky at the top of the Space Needle in Seattle, where Nick got down on his knee and asked for Nicole's hand in marriage (also shout out to the random guy who got the best video of the proposal, not all heroes wear capes). Nicole said YES! and the two embraced, with the crowd of the Space Needle clapping and cheering. The Nics (iconic team name) celebrated with a Kraken hockey game and the next day had a day at the Southcenter arcade and dinner at Din Tai Fung (amazing). Seattle is also the same place where the Nics will be taking the next step in their journey of love and tying the knot at the King Street Ballroom and Perch, surrounded by friends, family and loved ones...
