We originally met on a dating website, and we talked throughout the day. Then, we decided to meet up in person and get to know each other. We met in the parking lot of Dairy Queen in Chillicothe, IL, and went down by the Illinois River. There, we talked for a few hours before Tom gave Nikki a dozen roses and asked her to be his girlfriend. Things continued from there. We welcomed a child into our life, growing our family from three to four. Tom proposed to Nikki on Christmas eve, 2015. Since then, we've been planning their wedding and trying to come up with the perfect time. We've had some pretty crazy happenings during our life together, but it's caused us to continue to grow, and it's deepened our love for each other. We are looking forward to continuing to see where this life leads us.
