Nichole and Marty met at Nichole's work in 2019. Nichole asked Marty if they had met before. Classic Marty replied “I don’t know, maybe!” with a giant smile on his face. They didn't think much of it, but they definitely noticed each other. Months later, Nichole and Marty found themselves both at the newest coffee shop in Costa Mesa every Sunday night. Marty immediately knew he wanted to pursue Nichole romantically after seeing Nichole reading her bible and hearing her talk about the Scriptures with great passion. At first it was by chance, until it was "by chance" (they both secretly tried to see the other without seeming like a stalker). Nichole thought Marty was a lot younger so she hesitated until she found out he just has good genetics and he’s only a little younger. Marty then asked Nichole for her phone number so that they could “go get coffee”. They then continued to meet together and talk more frequently and the relationship blossomed. Marty finally asked Nichole on an official date January 31st of 2020. The date went great, so Marty asked Nichole to be his girlfriend in February of 2020, right before COVID.
