We first met through Quest, our church youth group, and became friends during Elizabeth’s senior year of high school. Throughout that year, we spent a lot of time together at youth group events and talking at school. By January 2019, Elizabeth had developed feelings for Nick but wasn’t sure if he felt the same way. She asked him to her senior prom, and he said yes. :) On March 1, 2019, we officially started dating. We attended Elizabeth’s senior prom together, and over the next six years, we navigated our long distance relationship as Liz attended SVSU and Nick attended Kettering University. On July 12, 2024, Nick proposed to Elizabeth on the feast day of Saints Louis & Zelie Martin, the patron saints of marriage! We are blessed to unite in the sacrament of marriage on August 1, 2025, and can’t wait to celebrate this occasion with all of our loved ones!
