Nick and Michelle’s story began in high school, where they first crossed paths in the weights class at their school. Nick was busy lifting weights when Michelle walked in with her Gryffindor tie for the student council's "tacky tie Tuesday". It was the first time Nick noticed her, and there was something about her confidence that caught his eye. A little later, Nick took a bold step and slid into her DMs on Instagram, asking for her number. What started as a simple message quickly turned into something much more, and before long, they were inseparable. From high school sweethearts to life partners, their journey together has been full of laughter, adventures, and endless memories. They’re so excited to celebrate this next chapter of their lives with all of you!

After a wonderful dinner together, Nick told Michelle they were going to check out some "Christmas lights" his boss had recommended. They made their way to Vista del Camino Park, where a quiet, enchanting scene awaited them. As they walked toward a lone tree glowing softly in the distance, Michelle noticed floating candles hanging in the air, much like the magical atmosphere of a Harry Potter film. Origami hearts swayed gently from the branches, adding an extra touch of charm to the moment. On a table nearby, Michelle spotted a small origami heart—one Nick had given her when she left for college when they were just seventeen that said "I fall more in love with you everyday". She opened it, and as she turned around, she saw Nick, down on one knee, holding out a ring and asking her to spend forever with him. It was a moment full of magic, love, and all the little details that meant so much to both of them. And, of course, she said yes!
