Nichole and Michael's love story began in early 2013 at the New Jersey Institute of Technology, where they were both studying architecture. Their journey started serendipitously when Michael, overseeing the architecture print room one day during the fall semester, noticed Nichole wearing a Manchester sweatshirt. A casual conversation about their hometowns sparked a connection that would change their lives forever. Before long, they discovered they both grew up near the Jersey Shore. During their winter break back home, their bond deepened as they spent late nights chatting, watching movies, and enjoying cups of frozen yogurt. Despite the difference in their academic years, they were irresistibly drawn to each other's presence. Throughout the spring semester, they found themselves in each other's studios, exchanging ideas, and inspiring one another's creativity with every interaction. Nichole's admiration for Michael's intelligence, creativity, and warm personality only grew stronger as she spent weekends visiting him during his final year. Meanwhile, Michael found himself captivated by Nichole's dedication, sense of humor, and genuine kindness. As they embarked on their professional journeys in architecture, they continuously inspired each other to new heights of creativity while embracing a balance of work and play. Their relationship thrived, fueled by a shared passion for design and a love that grew stronger with time. With each new adventure, their bond grew stronger, intertwining their hearts even further. They became inseparable companions, delving into the city's hidden gems, uncovering new culinary delights, and indulging in visits to wineries and distilleries. Whether sipping cocktails to the tunes of a jazz trio or exploring the picturesque Hudson Valley or Jersey Shore, they cherished every moment together.
