It can be really difficult to find a nice person on dating apps. Luckily, it wasn't a person's profile that caught Nicheal's eyes. It was a dapper raptor dressed in a suit with a profile page full of puns. Amused, she messaged the profile to let the owner know it made her day. Shouta being the comedian who created it, was shocked when he got a notification from his joke page but was happy that it made someone smile. As they continued talking over the next few months, they decided it might be nice to finally meet. As corny as this sounds, they had an immediate connection. After 3 dates Shouta made a risky move and asked Nicheal to officially be exclusive on January 6, 2017, even though they would have to do it long distance. Thankfully, that long distance relationship flourished over a year and a half. Nicheal made the decision to move to Atlanta, GA with Shouta to try for a not-so-long-distance relationship. They created a home out of their little apartment with their tiny pup and fluffy cat. They grew together over the years by learning, laughing, crying, and building love with each other. On May 14, 2021, Shouta proposed to Nicheal on a vacation to Savannah, GA. She of course said "Yes!" They are both excited to have friends and family join them on January 6, 2023 (6 years after they officially decided to take a risk) to celebrate.
