This story began in the spring of 2015. Nikayla and Jack officially met in high school at an A-West basketball game and shortly after, Jack made the first move. Sharing two classes, it was only a short time before they were texting about school, texting about life, meeting before classes, going out to lunch, and then going out on dates. Jack asked Nikayla to be his girlfriend on May 1, 2015.

For college, Jack went to Colorado State University, and Nikayla went to Montana Tech. After four years of long distance, their college graduation was not only an academic accomplishment but an indication that they could finally be a couple who saw each other more than a few times a year. Shortly after graduating, they moved to Boston.

During their time in Boston, they started careers, got a cat (Blu), got another cat (Boots), moved from a studio to a one-bedroom apartment, and of course got engaged. Jack proposed on his birthday in September of 2023 in Barcelona, Spain. Nikayla said yes, yes, yes.

Jack and Nikayla are eager to celebrate their love with those who love them. In the nearly 10 years of being together, so many of you have seen them grow into the adults they are now, most likely with the other one by their side. While June 14 can mark the beginning of a beautiful marriage, they also want to celebrate the decade of love that has created their beautiful story.
