It's happening!

Nick & Elise both met on a Facebook Orthodox Singles group. Nick was a comical, moderate soul to balance out the Ortho-bros. Elise was a strong, good-hearted woman that attracted Nick's attention. Together they formed a friendship that saw them on their first date shortly after she messaged him. From there the rest is history, as they say.

After contemplating many grandiose ideas, Nick reached out to Elise's fellow flight nurse, Ashley. The plan was for her to invite Nick and Elise to dinner at her house, hopefully not triggering any alarm bells, and luckily it didn't. Ashley and her husband Vince had concocted a plan to be able to take pictures while Nick proposed. So there they were on the balcony overlooking the beautiful Sacramento Valley at sunset, Nick turned to Elise and started talking about their future. Elise, knowing something was amiss, began to question why Nick was acting so strangely. Unfortunately, he couldn't stay composed and started tearing up. Finally, a light bulb clicked with Elise, and she started tearing up herself. Nick got down on one knee and popped the question. Elise, both laughing and crying, exclaimed yes. Their overwhelming joy and happiness capped off a night they will never forget!
