That's right – Nicole and Lance's love story began on a dating app called Hinge. Nicole is a San Diego native who moved to New York City in October 2018 to pursue her theater career and Lance is a Brooklyn native who grew up with aspirations of working in the medical field. Their first meeting took place on April 10th, 2022, at Sunburst Espresso Bar on 3rd Avenue & 18th Street in New York City. From the moment they met, they both instantly knew that they had found someone truly special. After several months of getting to know each other, Lance and Nicole made their relationship official on August 7th, 2022. Over the following months, their bond deepened as they continued to spend time together and on November 20th 2022, they took their first trip to San Diego to celebrate Thanksgiving with Nicole's family. At the beginning of 2023, Lance achieved a career milestone with a promotion as an Emergency Room Chief Physician Assistant, while Nicole began to dazzle audiences on Broadway in Aladdin, performing eight shows a week. Despite their demanding careers, Nicole and Lance made sure to carve out time to travel and create memories together that would last a lifetime. On September 7th, 2024, Lance got down on one knee to propose to Nicole and she said YES! He did so on the rooftop of a stunning art gallery in Manhattan. The moment was made even more special when Nicole's family flew in from San Diego and surprised her at an engagement dinner that evening with Lance's family. With the love and support of their friends and family, Nicole and Lance are thrilled to begin this next chapter of their lives together!
