Nick and Cate are one of the online success stories we all hear about. They were matched up and started a light hearted conversation by Nick asking Cate if they were going to go to the olympics. Cate being the figure skating lover/coach she is, had a peaked interest in this converstation. After a few message back and forth and a few laugh out loud moments, Nick wasted no time asking Cate out on a date. December 1st of 2017 the couple met at Bar Loui in Strongsville for their first date. Their date lasted the night, the conversation just flowed. Nick made Cate smile and laugh as they shared a bottle of wine at the bar. When their bottle was empty and it came time to go, they decided it was too early to end the date and ordered a second bottle of wine and of course some nachos as they were enjoying each others company. When the night came to an end, Nick walked Cate to her car and they shared a goodnight kiss. Both drove away. Cate stopped to get gas around the corner, and as she started her transaction fate took place and Nick pulled into the same gas station. They shared a “what are you doing here” moment and just laughed at the coincidence. Before leaving Cate kissed Nick good night one more time, like it was the natural response to do. Because thats what their time together had felt like, natural. Cate called her girl friends on her way home to girl talk about her date. She said “ I had such an amazing time. We had an adult conversation that just flowed, so refreshing! ... I can see myself marrying that guy.” After the second date, Nick continued to wooh Cate and not only take her out but created new and memerable experiences for the two of them. They have traveled,they have laughed and loved and now they cant wait to see where their journey contiues to take them!

Nick and Cate were on an awesome family vacation with Nicks family in Pensacola Beach FL. That morning of the proposal Nick woke Cate up at 7:00 am asking her if she wanted to go take a walk on the beach. Cate half asleep smiled and said ok.. as she thought they were going to go look for sea shells. Nick has always been a gentleman but this particular moring he was a little extra, and Cate was eating it up. They held hands as they walked passed the pool and out onto the beach. Nick directed the walk as the couple stayed more inland. Cate thought to her self, this nice but the shells are down there by the water. Nick finaly said “I think this is a good spot,” Cate of course questioning “for what?!” They stood and admired the sunrise, the white sand and beautiful blue waves rolling in. Nick finally says “if I’m gonna do it, I just have to do it” and pulls out a box from his pocket. Cates reactions was priceless! Hands to her mouth and an “oh my gosh Nick!!” He gets down on one knee and shared his love while asking Cate to marry him. Cate was beyond surpised as she had been hopefull but not expecting a proposal at all. She told Nick “stand up and will you put it on?” Nick asking Cate “is that a yes?” Cate was so excited she had forgotten to answer and at that moment gave a big “Yes, yes, yes!”
