Nicole was busy dog-sitting for a friend and Andrew graciously offered to come keep her company. The pair met and had dinner at Garden Street Bowl in Kennebunk, Maine. Drawn to each other, they stayed at the restaurant for hours talking. Nicole insisted Andrew meet the dog she was taking care of to make sure a dog would approve (she did!) - a true test of a good man!

On the first day of their trip up north to go four wheeling, Andrew proposed to Nicole in front of Beaver Brook Falls in Colebrook, New Hampshire. Andrew's sister, Amanda, and friend, Johnathan, were present to take photos and video of the occasion. The newly engaged couple celebrated afterwards at the Buck Rub Pub and enjoyed a week of adventures and four wheeling.
