We're SO excited to FINALLY celebrate with you!

Despite having mutual friends for a few years, Brittany and Nic first met on Halloween of 2017. Both of them knew that they were going to be parts of a larger group that was meeting to celebrate at the W Hotel in San Francisco and had each been told about the other by friends. Although, their first meeting was not a setup. Nic described seeing Brittany get out of the car and things "going slow motion" for a bit. Brittany described Nic as being very handsome and ultimately charming. The party was big, spanned three floors, and had hundreds of people in attendance but Wonder Woman and the Priest (Pastor McMaster) didn't seem to wander too far away from each other. By night's end, the attraction was obvious and the interest was mutual so Halloween of 2017 became the starting place of the journey for Brittany and Nic that has taken them many places and will bring them together in marriage on July 16, 2022!

On Saturday, May 18th, 2019, Brittany's family was in town for a visit. Nic and Brittany wanted their families to meet and thought a tour of San Francisco was the best way to come together. A rain storm decided to visit the Bay Area that weekend and there was talk about changing plans but Nic had plans of his own and insisted they continue. The San Francisco Ferry Building was the meeting place where everyone in the group got to enjoy small bites and conversation. Next, the group headed to the Buena Vista for some warm drinks where both families got to work together for the first time to secure a table for the group. Once warm, hydrated, and ready for more adventuring, the group made their way to the Palace of Fine Arts--one of Brittany's favorite places. Brittany was secretly hoping that Nic would propose here and Nic, expecting this, planned to use this to create the surprise moment he envisioned--a good thing too because students heading to prom were everywhere taking photos. Elizabeth, Brittany's sister, was in on the plan and helped Nic by suggesting that the group go to a great photo spot next. Myles joined the group then and with Brittany being upset thinking we were going to the parking lot across the bridge, we arrived at our destination. To Brittany's surprise, Battery Spencer was not the parking lot but rather a scenic lookout atop a hill which offered views of the Golden Gate and the City. Magically, the rain let up for Brittany and Nic to pose for a few photos. Brittany thought it was strange that Nic "didn't like" the way the photos looked when he asked to take more. This allowed Myles an opportunity to hand-off the ring to Nic and for everyone in the group to move in a little closer. Surrounded by family, Nic revealed the box, told Brittany how much he loved her, took a knee, and asked Brittany to spend the rest of her life with him. Without hesitation Brittany said, "YES!" and 5/18/19 became a day both will remember always.
