We met each other at UW-La Crosse through mutual friends. Even though we lived in dorms right next to each other during our freshmen year, we never crossed paths until our sophomore year! Ever since the first time meeting each other, we would hang out every chance we got and never ran out of things to talk and joke about! Nick asked Abbie to be his girlfriend during their sophomore year spring break, and then invited Abbie to his house to meet his entire family just two days later! Abbie fell in love with Nick's parents' chicken parm, and decided to stick around! :)

On our fifth anniversary, Nick planned a special date night at Bacchus Restaurant in Milwaukee. Abbie had no idea what was coming and she chipped her nail right before leaving for dinner (which Nick nonchalantly, yet vehemently, reminded her to fix before they left). After an incredible dinner, the staff brought out dessert, which included a bouquet of roses, champagne, and a dessert plate with "Marry Me?" written in chocolate! Abbie made the easiest decision of her life and said yes to Nick's proposal! Nick was so nervous during the dinner that he accidentally pronounced the sorbet dessert as "sherbet!" :)
