The year was 2020 and due to a world-wide pandemic, most people were kept apart. But that was the year when we were brought together. It took us a few months of awkward dates, and social distancing to realize that God had brought each of us a very special person into our lives. Our year of dating was filled with lots of fun and new adventures, but also lots of miles up and down I-65. We started our relationship by being an hour apart. This wasn’t always ideal, but it also made us appreciate our time together. Luckily, Nicholas transfered positions at his job and we finally were in the same city by 2021! We knew we wanted to start our life together, so on April 26, 2021 we were engaged. Nicholas asked Rachel to be his forever and she said, “Of course!”. We’re so excited to celebrate the sacrament of Marriage on May 28, 2022, and look forward to God’s plans for us!
