Mason and Nikki’s love story began on a beautiful Wednesday night, May 8, 2024, while serving in their church's children's ministry. Nikki’s radiant smile immediately caught Mason’s eye. Nikki, being her reserved and poised self, pretended as if it was an ordinary Wednesday evening, all while secretly crushing on Mason heavily. Over the next few weeks, their paths crossed a few more times, and then Mason finally asked Nikki out to dinner on June 2, 2024. That evening marked the beginning of something special. From that date on, their connection grew naturally. The two continued to explore the spiritual, intellectual, and social aspects of one another. Mason and Nikki quickly discovered that there was a mutual desire for something deeper. After a month into dating, Mason asked Nikki to be his girlfriend. Their bond strengthened as they began to see that the qualities they deeply valued in a partner, were evident in one another. Their friendship became inseparable as they continued to spend time together. From praise and worship sessions, exercising, movie dates, outdoor adventures, bible studies, weekly taco dates, to family fun activities with the most amazing 5-year-old, Madison, they genuinely loved doing life together. Every conversation, shared experience, and passing day brought them closer to the realization that God’s divine timing and power orchestrated the two of them meeting that spring Wednesday night—it was never by chance. With that, Mason knew that Nikki would be his wife, but had to find the perfect way to ask her. Mason decided that there was no better time to ask the big question than Nikki’s upcoming birthday. So, he planned a special weekend, and followed up with a girl’s best friend…a beautiful diamond ring! Fortunately, Mason knew it was true love when Nikki cried with excitement saying “YES” before she ever saw the ring. This love story is one written by our Lord Jesus who has and will remain in the center of our relationship. We look forward to you all joining us as we celebrate our union and begin this new chapter of our lives. #TwoBecomeThomas
