This story began at Trader Joe's, a frenemies to lovers story. We started out picking on each other with sly jokes and insults, all while Nick harbored a secret crush over his one day to be wife. After years of friendship we wondered if we could be more, both saying "we weren't looking for anything" at the time and ultimately finding everything. The next few years were spent traveling the country, experiencing amazing restaurants, along with making many great memories with family and friends. Life got challenging and we made the decision to part ways for a bit ultimately returning to each other with new insights and so much love and understanding for the other. We knew we never wanted to be parted again and in April 2024, Nick asked the question and Ricci said, "Of course!"
