We met while Nick was on a placement at Audrey's company in Denver. Though neither of us expected to fall in love with someone who lived half way across the world, we knew this was something special after the first date. While living in Denver we took a trip to the mountains where we, unintentionally, laid it all out on the table and first committed to making the long distance relationship work. Nick returned to the UK and we were resigned to one week visits every couple of months. After almost a year of long distance, Audrey moved to the UK in August 2018. Since then, we've travelled the world, bought a house, added a furry friend to our family and now, here we are... #McMahonofmydreams #inWhiteheadingdowntheaisle
Nick had planned a proposal in Colorado in April 2020 but, unfortunately, the pandemic had other plans and 3 days before we were due to fly, the borders were closed and the plan was foiled. Through international lockdowns and significant uncertainty around our ability to return to the US, Nick hatched another plan. Finally, on September 20, 2020, Nick proposed at our favourite resort on the Greek Island of Rhodes. The table was set with with candles, flowers and lanterns with a view over the Aegean Sea. After a bottle of prosecco to help calm the nerves, Nick toasted to our three year anniversary and ended the toast by getting on one knee and popping the question. It was the easiest 'yes' that Audrey ever gave.
