Our Wedding

On January 21st, 2016 Nicole and Michael met at SUNY Cortland. Nicole was currently living on campus at the 'West Campus Apartments', and had a new roommate moving in. Michael was friends with Nicole's new roommate, and was headed over to the apartment to hang out. When Michael saw Nicole for the first time, he asked his friend "Who's that? She's beautiful". Michael's friend replied, "I think her name is Nicole.. I kind of just met her". Nicole was getting ready to go downtown to celebrate a friends birthday. As she was getting ready, Michael approached her and introduced himself. Michael then said to Nicole, "You have really beautiful eyes". Nicole replied, "Thanks, but you're not really my type". That weekend, Michael was around everyday in hopes of trying to get to know Nicole more. Michael asked Nicole out to dinner, and she agreed. Nicole and Michael shared a tower of wings and a pitcher of IPA, while talking about what brought Michael to Cortland, and how much Nicole loved it. Michael asked Nicole to show him around campus, since he was new, and after that they spent everyday together. During SuperBowl Weekend, Michael went home with his roommate for a party. This was the first weekend since Michael came to Cortland that him and Nicole had been apart. Nicole told Michael she loved him, and he said he loved her too. With Easter approaching, Nicole was excited to go home. She asked Michael for his plans for the holiday, and he said he would be staying on campus. Without hesitation, Nicole invited Michael home with her. Nicole told her mother, Tammy, about Michael just days before they were to go home. Tammy agreed that Michael could come home with her. A day before leaving for Buffalo, Michael asked Nicole to be his girlfriend- because she kept hinting when he was going to. After two summers of long distance, and two and a half years of traveling three hours to spend time with one another- Michael popped the question on Christmas Eve 2019. Nicole said "Yes" and the two are getting married where it all started- Cortland.
