Like many good stories, ours began with friends and a little bit of luck.

We met in 2021 when we returned to college for junior year after COVID. Our roommates at the time, Evelyn and Matthew, were dating and introduced us. What started as a friendship quickly turned into something more.

Over the years we’ve shared so many milestones together — family trips, becoming an aunt and uncle, and building a life side by side. Just two months into dating, we adopted our cat Wanda, who made us feel like a little family right away.

Life also gave us our fair share of apartment disasters (which really tested our patience), but somehow those moments only made us stronger and reminded us to appreciate the little things.

In 2023 we graduated and moved into our first apartment together. Then in November 2024, on our anniversary, Nick got down on one knee — or so he says… it was pitch black on the beach.

Since then, our family has grown again with the addition of our second cat, Alfred.

We are so grateful for the friends and family who have supported us along the way and we can’t wait to celebrate this next chapter with the people we love most.
