How We Met

First comes COVID, then comes long distance dating.

The story begins with the unofficial dating services of Kate and Vincent Sharlow. Nicole's best friend, Kate, and her husband, Vincent, originally all went to high school together. Fast forward to 2020 Vincent and Bryan began working together in Georgia with Ecolab. Nicole was still living in Michigan at this time, and with COVID shutting down much of the state, dating was extremely difficult. Vincent from talking to Bryan knew he was in a similar situation with his dating life. Sharlow Matchmaking jumped in and went to work trying to arrange a meet-up between the two. On Aug 28, 2020 Bryan and Nicole began talking via text, snaps, and Facetime (Fun Fact: Nicole made the first move to reach out to Bryan shhh.) Several months went by talking and texting daily when they decided to meet for the first time in person. Nicole booked a flight to see Kate and meet Bryan in hopes that everything would be just as great when they finally met in person. Oct 28, 2020, when Nicole flew down she and Bryan ended up spending the whole weekend together. The following months Bryan's job took him to Savannah, GA for a year and the two began discussing moving in together in fall 2021. A few months later Bryan moved back to the Atlanta area and Nicole moved down to Georgia where they got their first apartment together on March 11, 2022. The last 3 years together have had their ups and downs as all relationships do but the best years are yet to come as they become Husband and Wife!
