We first met at a wedding. I remember glancing over at him and catching him looking over at me. Later, that evening a mutual friend/ cousin introduced us for the first time. Nicholas tried using a cheesy pick-up line about maple syrup (so Canadian of him). We said our hellos and continued our separate ways. We reconnected on Facebook a few days later, planned out first date for the following month Nicholas and his family would be in town. Within 24 hours we went on our first and second date. The rest was history.
Christmas Morning 2020 I received the greatest Christmas gift, Nicholas and it all planned out with my brother that he would be coming into town to surprise me. If you missed the video on Facebook, I was beyond shocked to see him walk through the door. The following day he asked my parents for their blessing. He proposed later that evening. Here I was thinking we were the couple of the year in our matching Run DMC matching Adidas tracksuit. As we were heading to my cousin’s house that evening, he kept saying something was missing to complete our look. I kept telling him I know it is the adidas shoes will buy them when he said this is what is missing to complete our look…… when I looked, he was down on one knee with a ring and asked will you marry me.
