Celebrating Love and Legacy

Nick and Ariel have known one another since the sixth grade - meaning we've been in each other's lives for the past 17 years! They grew up as ‘sports kids’, but things shifted during high school. During their Junior year, Nick was playing varsity basketball and Ariel was a varsity cheerleader. During the fall semester, they would pass one another “unintentionally” every day and exchange an innocent “Hi”. This went on for weeks. One day, Nick finally messaged Ari on Facebook messenger. They chatted for hours and when he finally asked for her number, she told him “I lost my phone”. He thought she was dissing him, but it was the truth! Nick and Ari officially started dating on December 1, 2010. They dated through college, took a slight break to grow themselves and learn the lessons of life, and reunited back in 2018. They’ve been inseparable since! They gave birth to a beautiful baby boy Moses on June 3rd of 2019 and currently reside in Naperville, IL. On August 27th, 2021, Nick proposed to Ariel in a private location with their son at his side. Not only are these two excited to spend the rest of their lives pouring into one another, but they are also truly passionate about building a legacy for the next generation.
