It all started in 2020 with a simple question: "Coke or Pepsi?" Gina's dating app bio posed the age old soda debate, and Nick gave an answer that made her instantly take notice: "RC in a styrofoam cup." (Clearly, this was no ordinary guy.) Our first date was at Pints in Elmhurst, where we both felt immediately at ease - like we had known each other forever. Not long after, we made things official... just in time for Covid to hit. Quarantined apart, we kept the spark alive with daily FaceTime calls (proof that love can survive pixelated Wifi and bad lighting). Since then, life has been anything but boring. Together we've celebrated graduations, conquered CPA exams (true love = finding someone who tolerates you during busy season), survived countless moves, cheered each other through new jobs and promotions, worked at rivaling Big 4 accounting firms, navigated losses, celebrated nieces and nephews, explored new places, and even bought our first condo in the city. From RC in a styrofoam cup to planning forever together, our story has been filled with laughter, resilience, and a whole lot of love!
