Nick and Liz met in Austin, Texas, in February 2024 while Liz was visiting a friend. One evening, Liz tagged along with a friend to church—something she hadn’t done in a long time! The room was packed, and Liz was a bit overwhelmed. That’s when Nick came up to Liz with a big smile and introduced himself. At the time, Liz was taking it all in—nervous, a little distracted, and surrounded by new faces—but Nick’s warm introduction stood out. On Liz’s flight home, she found herself already wanting to return. She booked a flight back just two weeks later, following a gut feeling she couldn’t quite explain. During the planning for that second trip, Nick saw Liz was coming back and asked if he could take her on a date. He picked Liz up for the Austin Rodeo BBQ, and Liz remembered feeling unexpectedly nervous—but calm—getting ready to see him again. From the moment Nick knocked on the door, something just clicked. They spent the whole day at the rodeo, deep in conversation, laughing, and feeling an ease that’s hard to describe. They truly did (and still do) feel so much peace when they are around one another. Liz was supposed to stay for a week, but extended her trip for a month. That March was one of the best months of our lives—we walked countless laps around Town Lake, discovered a shared love for spicy margaritas at De Nada, had picnics at Zilker in the rain, caught amazing views of the Austin skyline, rode the ferris wheel at the rodeo and explored Austin together listening to our newly shared playlist in Nick’s truck. It all just felt right. We made a list of every little thing we did together that month, because we never wanted to forget this unbelievable time we were in. They now know exactly why Liz got back on that plane so soon—They were on their way to each other forever. ❤️
