We thought it was unfair that only Nicole got an engagement ring, so Ian wears one too!

Dinner at Girl and the Goat with Nicole's parents is one of our favorite treats.

We were asked to do a proof of concept shoot for the HOG catalog... They said the catalog looked like a love story...oops. Photo by Taylor Katz

Visiting the New York Renaissance Faire as the Percys, Earl and Countess of Northumberland. This image has been used by NYRF for their Sweetheart Sale promotion and Romance Weekend!

One of our shared interests is in Norse and Viking history and culture.

This is when we got engaged! Ian threw Nicole a surprise birthday party at Oak and Shield in Milwaukee. They provided free champagne to the party after she said yes!

Nicole had said "Yes!" right before this picture was taken.

Spending time with Ian's family when we can is a huge priority for us. Spending time with them at the New York Renfaire is magical.

Enjoying some Gluhwein at Milwaukee's first Christkindl market.

Every Wisconsinite has their favorite place for a Friday Fish Fry. Ours is Benno's, home of the 40 Beer Flight.

Classy? Goofy? Why not both?

For his 30th birthday, Nicole conspired with some of Ian's friends to travel to NJ for a surprise birthday party. I think he was happy to see her.

The directors of the Guilde of St. George at Bristol were kind enough to let Nicole come play as Princess Cecelia of Sweden for an afternoon while Ian was visiting.

Ian's favorite love scene in Shakespeare is Henry wooing Katherine in Henry V. This was caught at Streetcorner Shakespeare at the New York Renaissance Faire.

Nicole commissioned this piece as a Welcome Home gift for Ian when he moved to WI. It represents their Hogwarts houses: Slytherin for Nicole and Hufflepuff for Ian. #slytherinloveshufflepuff

For Nicole's mom's birthday we took her to a beer dinner for Milwaukee Brewing's 25th anniversary. Ian met the owner of the brewery that night and got a job there the next month!

At the Renaissance Pleasure Faire in Irwindale, CA. Playing Sir Henry and Anne Lee.

Ian specifically asked that this photo make it onto the website, so here it is!

ian's first taste of Portillos, a Chicago classic!

We are very into historical costuming and re-enactment, from Vikings to futuristic Sci-Fi and everything in between. Here we are as ourselves in the Victorian era.

Nicole's first trip to the Jersey Shore was in December just after Christmas...it was cold.

We like to play D&D. Here is our cat Doc DMing his first game.

Dinner in Malibu at Moonshadows. The food was spectacular and so was the view, we had dolphins playing behind us!

One of our favorite things we did in Los Angeles was seeing the La Brea Tar Pits.

Bryant's Cocktail Lounge. This was during Ian's first visit to Milwaukee, where it's safe to say he fell in love with the city (and the girl).
