As much as they wish they had a great meeting story, Donia and Nick met on a dating app. Very 21st-century of them. Their first date was at Seeds Coffee in Homewood (a favorite haunt of Donia's). Donia thought it was the most awkward first date ever. Nick left after 30 or 45 minutes with the excuse of having to feed his dog (he did have to feed his dog, by the way). But, they continued to talk. Donia left Nick little paper notes on his windshield every time they saw each other, and that's how she weaseled her way into his heart. The couple has been together for nearly six years, even following each other to Mooresville, N.C. when Donia got a job at Lowe's corporate (she's no longer there, but it led to greener pastures). Nick proposed on the shores of Lake Norman in Davidson, N.C. on Aug. 8, 2021. He dropped to one knee in gravel and sand while they were walking the dogs, Buster and Lil' Sebastian. Donia was definitely not expecting it and didn't even shower that day so the pictures of that day are not great, but it was a great moment. Truly a house divided -- Donia says, "War Eagle," while Nick says, "Roll Tide."
