Expect that to be at 3:30, but do not be alarmed if it doesn't start exactly on time. If for some reason the feed does cut out, just copy and past the link again. We will restore the connection to the same zoom room. We are glad you get to be with us! (You can ignore this part unless you are asked for it) Meeting ID: 860 7082 0444 Passcode: N+H

Our wedding will be all outdoors! We want everyone to feel as safe as possible. We ask that as many people that can be vaccinated by the time that the wedding comes around are and that all who will attend are socially responsible the two weeks leading up to the wedding. We want to share this moment with as many people as we can, but we can only do that if everyone puts forth effort to be safe. Many decisions have gone into setting up the wedding for your well-being, but we will completely understand if you do not feel comfortable attending. We will be streaming the ceremony over zoom for anyone who cannot make it.

Around nine years ago, we both walked into Union County Magnet High School not knowing what the future would hold. Of course it was different for both of us. Nick carried his classic “meh” attitude through the entire first year, while Hannah was a ball of stress disguised as a “this should be fun!” personality type. Through the magic known as "the alphabetical system" we ended up as locker neighbors. Hannah remembers being so embarrassed for consistently hitting this stranger with her locker, in his "handsome" face. He never talked so she always just assumed he was frustrated and annoyed with her. Little did he know, those annoyances (which he doesn’t even remember!) would be the first of many along a journey of memories, joys, hardships, laughter, and most importantly consistent friendship. We started dating toward the end of our freshman year of high school. It was May 29th, 2013. We will be getting married on our eight year anniversary, May 29th, 2021. We hope you can take part with us, but we completely understand if you can’t. Thank you!

After dating for years, we started bouncing around the idea of getting married our first anniversary after graduating college since it fell on a Saturday. As we got closer, it did not seem like a reality. Nick’s Grandpa had always told us that we should be engaged by the Christmas after we graduated. In October, we lost his Grandpa and it hit us both hard. We were both very close to him. He was so excited to see Nick’s future tech savvy house and he was planning to open a short order cook restaurant with Hannah. After that hard loss, we were back in New Jersey walking Bucky (the best pitbull in the world) and we were talking about how life is short. Nick realized that he didn’t want to wait any longer to get married. Hannah was wearing a ring and Nick asked if he could borrow it. On that walk, we got unofficially engaged. From there, the question was when we would officially get engaged. When we were both home for the holidays, we were sorting through his Grandparent's cabinet and found his Grandma’s ring inside. This was after he already purchased a ring of his own which was in Hannah’s shoe size rather than her ring size so… yeah that did not work out. Nick’s mom reminded him of his Grandpa’s idea of getting engaged by Christmas not knowing of our “pre-engagement” or intentions to get engaged in the near future. Late Christmas night after the festivities ended, we decided that we needed to take action. We drove over to Hannah’s family’s house and talked to her father. That night we were sitting in Nick's grandparent’s room bummed that we weren't going to make the Christmas “deadline” in honor of Grandpa because there were no grand plans, but then we realized we didn’t need any. That moment was perfect. We stood up from sitting on the floor and Nick officially proposed surrounded by the memories of loved ones. After all this took place, it seemed like a possibility to have that “first anniversary after graduation” wedding like we always loosely talked about.
