We're Getting Married!

Nicole and Matthew’s story began at the science center, where working side by side quickly turned into an unexpected and wonderful friendship. What started as easy conversations during shifts and plenty of shared laughs soon grew into something more. Before they knew it, they had found not only a best friend in each other, but a partner too. On December 14, 2017, that friendship officially turned into love, marking the beginning of their journey together. Over the years, their relationship continued to grow through patience, support, and countless memories made along the way—even when living separately wasn’t easy. Every challenge only strengthened their bond and reminded them just how much they meant to one another. On July 12, 2024, Matthew asked Nicole to spend forever with him on a beautiful beach along the West Coast. Nicole was completely surprised and filled with excitement as she said yes, ready to begin the next chapter of their lives together. Just a few months later, on December 16, 2024, they proudly purchased their first condo—a place to finally call home and a symbol of everything they had worked toward together. Now, with hearts full of love and gratitude, Nicole and Matthew are so excited to celebrate their story and continue building a lifetime of memories as best friends and soon-to-be spouses.
