We met as coworkers in Long Beach, and quickly realized that what began as a work friendship developed into the start of our love story. After only 5 months of dating, we made the trip to meet each other's families and then took off on our first big adventure to Ireland (where Clayton's obsession of Guinness only grew deeper). Two years later, we returned to our Northern California roots to be closer to family, where we have remained ever since. Within this time we have continued to travel, gone to school, spent time with family, and adopted our two kitty girls (Dolly & Sushi). In March of 2023, after 6 years of dating, Clayton planned a trip to Tulum, Mexico for Nicole's birthday and surprised her with a proposal. Spoiler alert...she said yes! Now, we look forward to celebrating our love with all our favorite people :)
