As many of you know, Nick and Michaela's journey began during their Sophomore year of high school. Michaela was the quiet, thoughtful individual, pouring her heart into her studies, while Nick, the social butterfly, was stirring up mischief with his lively group of friends—many of whom will join us in the bridal party or celebrate with us at the wedding. Navigating a relationship at such a challenging stage of life can be difficult, yet Michaela and Nick defied those odds and made their love flourish. Their bond strengthened as they embraced the next chapter of their lives together at the University of New Hampshire, pursuing their bachelor's degrees side by side in different facets of STEM. They even decided to challenge themselves further by embarking on the adventure of obtaining their Master's degrees. When you ask them about their journey, they will likely share that having each other as a support through the rigorous challenges of academia, and life, is what kept them grounded and sane. Relying on one another throughout these pivotal years (from 2016 to the present) has only deepened their love, building a sturdy foundation that can withstand the tests of time. Every stage of life has brought its struggles, but that same journey has woven a rich tapestry of shared experiences, creating an unbreakable bond. "We are overflowing with joy as we anticipate celebrating this love story with all of you, and we eagerly look forward to the moment we can finally call each other husband and wife!” -Nick & Michaela
