Welcome

Our love story begins in Manhattan of January, 2020. Sam went to Maiden Lane in the East Village to meet up with friends who she and Nick had in common. After what was apparently months in the making, those mutual friends were finally able to set Nick and Sam up. Flirtatious banter was exchanged for weeks and then things naturally escalated during quarantine. Flash forward a year and a half later after surviving sharing a studio during the pandemic, traveling to some of the most random locations including Alaska and South Dakota, and adding a fur-baby to our family. Over Memorial Day Weekend 2021, Nick popped the question in 45 degree weather in the pouring rain at Maudslay State Park and Sam said 'yes'! We could not be more excited for this next chapter to begin!

Our Story

Photos

I met Megan at Bryant orientation in 2006. Immediate best friends and attached at the hip from thereon out, we became roommates and didn't leave each-others' side until I moved to NY in 2012. Unaffected by the physical distance, Megan is still a part of so many of my best memories.  I couldn't imagine her not by my side on such a special day!

Megan

After our Internship in 2013 and Graduate scheme in 2014, I tried so hard to escape John that in 2017, I moved to New York. Well, John couldn’t let me escape and followed me to the States in 2018. He won’t even let me marry Sam on my own, so I guess he’ll just have to be the supportive best man by my side, and I wouldn’t want it any other way.
