How we met

Swipe right!

We met on a dating app. We chatted for a few weeks before our first date and the rest is history! (He swiped right for the dog pics 🙃🐶...thanks Bacchus! )

First date

...She was late

A bee in the car and no parking for blocks.... Meghan arrived fashionably late for their first date just in time to catch Nick thinking he'd been stood up...Dinner at Forno Osteria + Bar was an unforgettable night to kick off a wonderful romance. Nick and his friends made sure the first date was magical with champagne and special delivery starters compliments of the chef. Drinks and chatting until the bar closed and many dates to follow! Currently our go to date night is FC Cincinnati soccer games as avid followers and season tickets holders. 🧡💙🫶

Our Home

From lockdown to first time home owners!

We had been dating for about 8 months when COVID lockdown started. For 6 months it was easy to lean into our relationship with many social restrictions. Long walks with the dog in the evenings daily when Meghan got off work became routine. We bought our first home in September of 2020 in Anderson Township upgrading to a large yard for the dog and added little Sigourney to our pack to give Bacchus a mate.

The Proposal

Christmas Morning

12/25/23. Nick popped the big question early Christmas morning in Cincinnati before the rest of the family was up. Meghan and Nick delighted in the surprise of slipping the ring on and waiting for our loved ones to notice that morning. It was Meghan's mom that spotted the new hardware first and sent Ron to investigate! Nick has exquisite taste and surprised Meghan with a beautiful ring he picked on his own.

Our Pack

We got our dog a dog....

Lula was a spicy addition to the pack in October 2021 when a friend asked us to take a puppy from an oopsie litter. The newest addition to complete our pack is Ripley, a 2.5 year old rough collie also hailing from the same rescue as Sigourney and bringing a calm demeanor to the team. Tennis balls are not allowed in the house. Fetch is life. We enjoy dog friendly vacations that include the whole pack. Our favorite location is North Carolina and hiking. 2 of the 4 dogs have been to the Biltmore Estate, and in 2023 we took a trip to the ocean and brought the dogs to the beach! We're looking forward to many more full family fur friendly adventures as a married couple. Bacchus - 9 y/o border collie rehomed from a friend (Mississippi born and raised) Sigourney Weaver - 3.5 y/o border collie retriever? (Pretty and she knows it).
