Nicole and Mark met through a mutual friend who appeared on the show Love Is Blind. Despite what they sometimes tell people (Mark), their relationship did not actually begin in the pods. In the early days, Mark found a very strategic way to get Nicole’s attention — her beloved dog Charlie. Mark quickly bonded with Charlie and would happily steal her any chance he got, using his new furry ally to slowly wiggle his way into Nicole’s heart. Between great conversation, plenty of laughs, and Charlie’s clear approval, it didn’t take long for them to realize they had something special. And now they can’t wait to celebrate with all of you.
