It all began at Rodano’s in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania—a place known for good food, laughter, and maybe a little bit of destiny. Nick was working and Rhyce had stopped in with his cousin, Mandi. What started as casual conversation quickly turned into something more. There was an instant spark, the kind of connection you don’t expect but somehow know is meant to last.

At first, it was just fun—two people enjoying each other’s company, sharing laughs, and discovering how much they had in common. But as fate would have it, their paths were already intertwined more than they realized. Both Nick and Rhyce were enrolled in physician assistant school, King’s College, working toward the same career. Rhyce was two years ahead, which gave him a bit of an edge—he had already conquered the classes Nick would soon face. That meant late-night study sessions, pep talks before exams, and plenty of encouragement along the way.

Their bond grew stronger through every lecture, every rotation, and every challenge they faced side by side. They didn’t just fall in love—they became teammates, best friends, and each other’s biggest supporters.

What started as one night at Rodano’s turned into a lifetime of love, laughter, and partnership. Surrounded by the people they love most, Nick and Rhyce are writing the next chapter of their story together as soon to be husband and husband.
