Our first date took place at the historic Faneuil Hall in Boston. Nick being the gentleman he is asked Kate where she would like to go, and they decided on the infamous Durgin Park Beer Garden. Luckily for both Nick and Kate, the beer garden was empty and playing some great music. It was during the first five minutes in and Nick made reference to a Missy Elliott Lyric, which Kate promptly finished. Over six hours later with extended tour of Faneuil Hall Marketplace, our first date ended with promise for a second. What started next was the beginning to our love story.

Our proposal was intimate, personal, and one that took place in Kate's favorite city - Chicago! While Kate was out of town visiting friends in Chicago in June of 2018, Nick gained Larry's approval for his daughter's hand in marriage and started planning for the proposal. Fast forward to October, Nick and Kate arrived in Chicago looking forward to celebrating Greg's 70th Birthday, the opportunity to see old friends, and celebrate the main event - Nick and Natalie running the Chicago Marathon. Little did Kate know her family, friends, and soon to be in-laws were all in on the weekend. While Kate was busy making plans, Nick was setting up the perfect proposal weekend. After running 26.2 miles, Nick proposed to Kate in her favorite city, overlooking the skyline, and it is one we will cherish forever.
