Nicolette and Flavio met when she was a lifeguard at the Troy Community Center. His brother, Klod, was her manager and Flavio came to visit one day when she was working. The next time she and Klod worked together, he said that Flavio thought she was cute and asked if he could give him her number - she said yes! They started talking that summer and never stopped.

It was their 5 year anniversary and they always did something special to celebrate the day. They had been designing her ring for a few months, but some things were kept a secret so he could add his own personal touch. When the day came around, he took her to the Detroit Institute of Arts, which is a place that Nicolette's mom used to take her to visit often. After touring the museum for a while, he led her to the front of the building, got down on one knee, told her how much he loved her and asked if she would marry him. She said yes! After the proposal, they went to Birmingham to enjoy a romantic dinner together. When they came home, there was a small gathering of all their friends and immediate family to celebrate with them.
