Nick and Hailey met on the second to last day of school during Nick’s senior and Hailey’s junior year of high school. They went with a group of friends to lunch where Nick charmed Hailey with his sense of humor. They later reconnected at Indiana University when they ran into each other at Pizza X during Hailey’s freshman year and Nick’s sophomore year. The couple started dating February 22, 2014. During their time in college, Nick and Hailey spent many late nights studying at the Union, attending sorority and fraternity functions, and eating Taco Bell. After college, the pair moved to St. Louis where Hailey started graduate school. There, they adopted their golden retriever, Yogi, and cat, Minnie. Nick and Hailey loved living in St. Louis, especially because their apartment was right across the street from their favorite place, Forest Park, where they frequently walked Yogi. After Hailey graduated with her Ph.D. in chemistry, the pair moved to Ohio. Since then, they have adopted their second cat, Max. On December 29, 2023 Nick took Hailey on a trip to Chicago. On the sky deck at the top of the Willis Tower, Nick got down on one knee and asked Hailey to marry him. Nick and Hailey are so excited to finally get married and so happy to share the day with you!!
