Our Wedding

We met the "new fashioned" way- Hinge (a dating app). Our first date was at Two Roosters Ice Cream in Durham. That scoop of ice cream turned into a wonderful year of dating, traveling, and getting to know families. We had so much fun, and decided to continue forever. Nick proposed at Duke Gardens and Rachel said "YES!". Highlights of the year include: cuddling by the fire, frolicking in flower gardens, bike rides, Machu Picchu, swimming with sea lions, and Oktoberfest. We are excited to continue our journey with everyone in May!
