Welcome to Our Love Story

Who knows when or how long Nic and I were social media friends before ever noticing? With both of us having ties to Norfolk State University and Old Dominion University, we had plenty of mutual friends but never knew each other. January 2017 Nic was flirting under a Facebook selfie I’d uploaded so I invited him to leave a message in my messenger. By the end of that week we were on our first date. Three weeks later we made it official. And exactly 15 months later he proposed!

Nic knows my favorite event of the year is the annual Town Point Park Wine Festival. We go with close friends every year. This year it landed on Cinco de Mayo. Nic had all our family and friends (even from out of town!) meet outside of the festival. He got on one knee in the heart of downtown Norfolk and his friend, who is a photographer, captured the whole moment. Now Wine Festival will always be even more important to us!
