Once upon a time, in the halls of high school, Connor and Nicoletta crossed paths as friends. Little did they know that fate had something special in store for them. Fast forward to 2016, at a New Year's Eve party at Samm Haven's house (IYKYK), where a simple glance ignited a spark. From that moment on, they have spoken every single day for the last 9 years without fail.

Their journey together began when Nicoletta was navigating the challenges of nursing school and Connor was pursuing his military career for the US Army. Together, they faced the ups and downs of life, conquering military deployments and the most difficult battle of all: Nicoletta’s fight against cancer. Through it all, their love only grew stronger, proving that together, they could weather any storm. For sickness and in health is something they already have embodied.

On New Year's Eve 2023, amidst the celebration and joy, Connor surprised Nicoletta with a proposal right after the ball dropped, with their little dog Louie by his side, who was watching his mom's shocked face with adoration. It was a moment filled with love and happiness, one they will cherish forever.

Connor loves that Nicoletta is the most passionate, caring, and hardworking person he knows. Meanwhile, Nicoletta adores Connor’s calm demeanor, believing he truly is the yin to her yang. Together, they are excited to embark on this new chapter of their lives, hand in hand, with hearts full of love.
