We're getting married!

After weeks of talking and countless video calls, we knew there was something special between us. So, on March 20, 2022, we finally decided to meet in person. Our first date in Dayton, OH, was one for the books—an escape room challenge, a delicious Italian dinner, and a peaceful walk in the park. By the end of the night, one thing was clear: this was only the beginning. Just a few days later, on March 25, 2022, Nicholas officially asked me to be his girlfriend, and of course I said yes. From that moment on, our journey together truly began. We went from first dates to first road trips. The next day I joined Nicholas and some of his friends on a road trip to Lexington, KY to Comic-Con. (A bold move so soon? Maybe. But we’re all about adventure!) It was a weekend full of fun, laughter, and nerdy excitement—an early sign that our relationship would always be filled with unforgettable moments and spontaneous adventures. Since then, life has been an incredible journey. We've explored new places, shared unforgettable moments, and even added two adorable fur babies to our little family. But one evening in November would change everything forever. On November 7, 2023, what seemed like a simple date night at Olive Garden turned into one of the most magical nights of our lives. As we arrived, I was completely surprised to see a table set with balloons and roses—a detail that left me both excited and speechless. We enjoyed our meal, and when dessert arrived, the waitress placed a glowing rose bear in front of me. Inside was a note that read: "Will you marry me?" As I looked up, there was Nicholas—down on one knee, with the biggest smile, and the most important question. Through happy tears, I jumped up and said YES! And to top it all off, the entire kitchen crew had gathered behind us, cheering as we celebrated this incredible moment. Now, here we are, ready to start the next chapter of our lives together. We cannot wait to celebrate with all of you—our family and friends—who have been part of our journey. Let’s make more unforgettable memories together on our big day!
