Our Wedding

Some of you may be wondering how did we get here? Well let me take you back in time. It all started one day in 2009 back when Your a Jerk by News Boys was the hottest song out. You remember that? Nick and I were neighbors, staying right across the street from each other. I guess you can say, we started out as best friends, like what 50 Cent said “If I was best friend I’d want you around me all the time”. Nick was the annoying kid on the block. His way of getting my attention would be poking me and walking away. On the other hand, I was the shy preserved young girl on the block. As much as Nick tried to get my attention, I was not feeling him back then.&nbsp; Now let’s fast forward to 2014. One day, I received a comment on one of my Instagram pictures from Nick which said “you cooo." Now ,what kind of pickup line is that. All I could think of was, someone help him please. For some reason I could not help but reply. Let me tell you, that annoying kid that used to poke me years ago was now a handsome young man. During this time, I was in beauty school and he had asked me out on a date to the movies. He picked me up later that day from school. Although he seemed nervous, and his palms were sweaty, the date was one for the books; full of laughter and catching up after so much time had passed. He dropped me off at home and we said goodnight to each other. I woke up in the morning to see I received a text from Nick. I was filled with happiness. How sweet was it to see that he sent me a good morning text? Well sorry to break the news, he called me the wrong name. He called me Tori. Nick was embarrassed, but the date went so well, I had no choice but to forgive him, plus it was kind of funny.&nbsp;&nbsp;Before you knew it, lunch dates became our thing. We would always go to Sushi Yoko and go to the park to talk and hang out.&nbsp;&nbsp; After 5 years of spending almost everyday together and hanging out we decided to take our relationship to the next level and got our first apartment together. Here is where our true colors started to shine. I was being the woman of the house, cooking and cleaning and well nick was being a man. He would not put the toilet seat down and would oddly scratch me with his pinky toenail...yuck. In my head, I was thinking am I going to have to deal with this the rest of my life? Well, I took one look at Nick and decided, yes! This is exactly who I want to deal with for the rest of my life. He was the man for me. I know he wants to tell his side of story, so I’ll let him finish this off... *Nick pov*It’s 2021, Terri and I started attending church more and getting closer to Jesus. I became more a man of God and letting Jesus lead my life on the right path. Unfortunately during this time I got sick with COVID and as much of us know, COVID took the world by storm. My body was aching, I was sneezing, fever and a sore throat. This was hitting me all at once, and right by my side was Terri. She cared for me in a way I had not experienced. Terri was back and forth to the store grabbing me medicine and making me tea. At one point, I even convinced her ice cream was helping so she would go to Pressed Juicery to get me chocolate ice cream but don’t tell her that. All in all I was fighting the air trying to get over this sickness and Terri was not scared to care for me in that time of need. She never left my side and at that moment is when I knew she was the one and I had to take that next step and propose.&nbsp; November came around and my mom was in town. My mom helped me find the perfect ring for my future wife and it all became real. After a few months I planned to propose on Valentine’s Day at Bruce Beach. I had gathered some of our close friends, family and had her best friend Simone make a sign that read, "Will you marry me?" On the day of, Terri was exhausted from making strawberries for our business (Noochieberrries). Somehow, I mastered to convince her my friends wife was giving him a brand new car and we were going to support them at the beach. When we arrived at the park, all our friends and family were there to her surprise. She stopped and broke into tears as she realized today was the day that our lives were becoming one and would forever change for the better. As I got down on one knee, I was preparing to express myself, but I took one look into my future wife eyes and started to get choked up and cried. All I could do was say, "Will you marry me?" Now here we are present day, and our wedding is around the corner! We couldn’t be more excited than to share it with all of you. You guys are a part of our story and this is not the end, just another beginning, another chapter in our lives. Therefore, please join us on July 30, 2022 as we take our vows under God and become one.
