Their story began in 2022 with a simple message on Instagram. Though they had mutual friends, they had never met—until Nicholas took a chance and struck up a conversation. His charm (and clever talk about Mikayla’s favorite things—food and shoes) quickly won her over. From the start, their connection felt natural. Nicholas’ warmth and attentiveness made Mikayla feel safe and heard and their bond grew quickly. They soon found themselves building a life together—renovating a home, moving in and supporting each other through every high and low. They got engaged on August 29th, 2024 and as they prepare to say “I do,” they reflect on what they love most about one another: Nicholas admires Mikayla’s kind heart, loyalty and the way she brings light to every room. Mikayla cherishes Nicholas’s support, his love for family and how he makes her feel truly cared for in the smallest, most meaningful ways. Their journey has been filled with growth, love and resilience—and they can’t wait to continue writing the next chapter, hand in hand, for the rest of their lives.
