Ekaterina and Nicholas’s love story began in an unusual time—right in the middle of the Covid-19 pandemic. Like many at that time, their first few dates were spent in outdoor bubble tents with tiny space heaters. On their first date in a bubble tent, despite the cold temperatures, their spark was undeniable. As they continued to meet, their connection grew stronger, and their love deepened. One cold February afternoon, what seemed like a casual walk through the park quickly turned into an unforgettable moment when Nicholas got down on one knee and proposed. Completely surprised while the world paused and everything around them moved in slow motion, she said yes! Not long after their engagement, they adopted a sweet, albeit slightly nutty, puppy named Reggie into their lives. Now, as puppy parents to Reggie, they find joy in the little moments together and are incredibly grateful for the love they’ve found in each other.
