Our Wedding

In a world of swipes and matches, fate decided to give us not one, but two chances to connect - we matched on not just one, but two dating apps! After discovering a shared love of Machine Gun Kelly's music and coffee, we went on our first date on January 31, 2021, at what would immediately become one of our favorite Cleveland coffee spots, 27 Club Coffee. From that very first pink latte, we knew there was something special brewing between us. What started as a simple coffee date turned into the beginning of an incredible journey filled with love, laughter, and countless coffee adventures.

How It All Began

From the very beginning, our relationship has been an adventure—literally! Our first trip together took us to Columbus for the 2021 Sad Summer Fest, and since then, we’ve traveled near and far - from Chicago to the Bahamas just to name a few. In 2022 we added a different kind of adventure to our lives by adopting Calle, our sweet rescue pup from the streets of Mexico. When we’re not traveling or spoiling Calle and Sparkle, we love hosting game nights, making memories with our amazing friends and family, and sharing our lives with the people who mean the most to us.

The Journey

Every year, we have a tradition of visiting Downtown Cleveland’s Public Square to take in the magical Christmas lights—but this time, Justin had a little extra sparkle planned! The plan was devised with a little help from Nicole’s sister, Bethany, and executed with the help of his sister, Kaitlin. The evening started with dinner and drinks at our favorite spot, 27 Club Coffee, before we bundled up and headed out into the winter night to admire the lights. Just as we were leaving and taking a few pictures, Justin got down on one knee in the cold night air and popped the question. Completely caught off guard, Nicole was in total shock—but without hesitation, she eagerly said “YES!” It was the perfect, cozy, love-filled start to our next chapter together.

The Proposal

We cannot wait to celebrate with all of you! Our wedding day will be a reflection of our love—fun, intimate, and full of dancing. Surrounded by our closest family and friends, we’re looking forward to a night filled with laughter, great music, and unforgettable memories. Whether you’re hitting the dance floor with us, sharing in heartfelt moments, or simply enjoying the celebration, we’re so grateful to have you by our side as we start this next chapter. Let’s make it a night to remember!
