Our journey began in the second grade when Nicole got in trouble for making fun of Matthew's pants (yes, we have proof). Fast forward through middle school, high school, and college Nicole and Matthew walked different paths but were never too far off from each other. After college they both moved home and the moment of impact happened. Matthew saw Nicole teaching Zumba at their local gym. Now, no words were exchanged but a flame was sparked. Six months later Matthew gathered the courage to slide into Nicole's DMs (direct message inbox on Instagram). Nicole replied to Matthew saying that they haven't talked since the fourth grade but that she would give him a chance; the best chance in life she ever took. Numbers were exchanged and they had their first proper date February 2017 at the Tunnel Bar in Northampton followed by Mulino's restaurant, so Nicole could have her favorite shrimp scampi. When Nicole quickly got out of the car and went inside after their first date, Matthew wasn't sure if a second was in the cards. Matthew took Nicole dancing a week later and the rest is history... Nicole and Matthew fell in love with Nashville, TN when they took their first trip together here the summer of 2018. Later down the road during the pandemic, Nicole saw The White Dove Barn on a Netflix show called "Marriage or Mortgage" (can y'all guess which one Matthew picked each time) and she fell in love with the venue. When they returned to Music City the summer of 2023 and visited The White Dove Barn, they knew this is where they would begin their forever surrounded by their favorite people!
