Our story

Maria and Nick grew up just 30 minutes apart, but their paths didn’t cross until college at Rutgers Camden. Life took them in different directions after graduating: Nick moved to San Diego, and a few years later, Maria landed in LA. They stayed loosely connected through their shared circle, but one night something sparked when they re-connected at a college friend’s wedding. Coincidentally (or maybe not so coincidentally), they showed up wearing a matching suit and dress. Maria tried to make a joke about it but nervously blurted out, “It’s fine, we’re just dating.” That slip set the tone for the night and oh what a match that would be! Between clinking glasses of old fashions, sharing cigars, and catching up on life, something shifted. When Nick asked her to dance, the moment felt different. And then on the dance floor, he leaned in and kissed her. From that unexpected spark came something real. And now, they’re getting married! Proof that timing really is everything, and that sometimes, love shows up when you least expect it… in matching outfits, no less.
