Our Wedding

It was the beginning of summer 2019 when Nik & Trent met on Tinder. He had just arrived to NSWC Dahlgren when he came across Nik’s Tinder profile. He sent her a message asking if she did calligraphy (one of the better pick up lines Nik had gotten on Tinder) and that perked Nik’s interest, after the first conversation, they started talking almost daily. It wouldn’t be for another two weeks that they would meet in person. When they met in person, Trent had to walk to the gate of NSWC Dahlgren because Nik didn’t have a military ID to get on base. After getting into Nik’s car, they went to a shitty dive bar at Colonial Beach and walked along the beach & Nik looked for shells. After that, the rest is history. Nik spent many weekends at NSWC Dahlgren and in December 2019, Trent finished school and was stationed in Norfolk VA. After the winter break, Nik would make the 3 hour drive to Norfolk almost every weekend to see him. In February of 2020, Trent deployed and the Corona Virus hit so Nik went from going into the office every day to working at home. The deployment went by quickly and when Trent came home in June, Nik made the move to Virgina Beach to be with him full time. They spent most of their time exploring the Norfolk & Virgina Beach  area. Spent a-lot of time at the beach and looking for shells despite Trent hating sand & the beach. In March of 2021, they adopted their Siberian Husky, Loxley and she has been the greatest joy in their life. Through long work days, under ways,  corona 2020 and life throwing us curve balls. We always made time for each other & kept falling in love more and more (despite Trent refusing to put the toilet paper back on the roll)  . Trent proposed to Nik on September 24th, 2021. He took her to Cape Henry which is her favorite place to look for shells. (Shells are very important okay?) After about 20 minutes of looking, Trent was behind Nik and told her to turn around and look at a certain shell. Instead of it being a shell, it was Trent on his knee. Of course Nik said yes or we wouldn’t be planning a wedding.
