Just as many relationships begin in the modern era, Nic and Katie's began with an online dating app. The conversation began with Nic trying to guess Katie's dog's name (Kobe). The two set up a date for the very next day after asking their one mutual friend, Alex, about each other. When Katie told Nic it was her birthday, he knew he had to make it special! The two lovebirds ended up at Mendon Ponds for a hike and cake, with some presents for Kobe, who deserves some credit here. It was love at first sight and they were essentially inseparable from the moment they met. Nic introduced Katie to his 5 year old daughter Bailey a few months later and has loved watching Katie and Bailey's relationship grow. They got engaged on April 7, 2024 during a hike in the Adirondacks. Laughing and loving are the key values in their relationship and they cannot wait to spend a lifetime together! When you know, you know.
