Nick and Makenna unknowingly grew up in the same neighborhood when they were younger. Nick lived less than a mile away, but he didn’t go to the same school. It all started when Makenna played soccer with the LO Soccer club and made new friends with kids from LO. She was encouraged to transfer and attend Lake Oswego High School. It took a lot of persuasion, but she finally gave in and started her freshman year at Lake Oswego High School. In her Junior year a group of kids all planned to go to Winter Formal. Everyone had their dates and were ready to go when Makenna’s date fell through. Her date chose to go fishing for his birthday instead of going to Winter Formal! Frantically looking for a new date two days before the dance, Drew suggested she ask Nick. She didn’t know Nick, but she asked him anyways and Nick said yes! After Winter Formal the two started talking more and more and started hanging out. After a day on the Lake, Drew asked if they were dating and they both looked at each other and said “are we?”. As Nick was enjoying his Popeye chicken sandwich he said “I guess so!” On May 7, 2016 they officially started dating. After graduating from high school in 2017, they both attended Oregon State University. Makenna graduated in 2021 with a B.S. in BioHealth Science – Pre Pharmacy and Nick graduated in 2022 with a B.S. in Management & Entrepreneurship. In the fall of 2021 Makenna began her Pharmacy school journey in a cohort with Oregon State & OHSU and will be graduating June 2025. Nick is currently working for his family business. On May 7th, 2023, with their families and close friends they were all enjoying the day at Domaine Serene Winery when Nick popped the question. Everyone knew what was going to take place except Makenna! Makenna & Nick chose a 2+ year long engagement so Makenna could focus on finishing Pharmacy school and try planning a wedding. Here we are in 2025 and the time has come…Makenna will be graduating June 13 and marrying the love of her life on August 16! To add to all the chaos of school and planning a wedding, Nick purchased their first home in August 2024 in Tualatin. Cheers to their next chapter as it is time to celebrate their love for each other! See you on August 16, 2025 at Oak & Hood in Canby, Oregon to celebrate and party party party!!!
