We're so excited to have you Celebrate with us!

We were introduced through our mutual friend Beth, when she invited me (Nichole) to join her flag football team. Now, as many of you know, I am not very athletically inclined, but I was excited to “get picked”. Little did I know that there was a plot afoot. After a few weeks, Beth asked me what I thought of Nic. I hadn’t really spoken to him but thought he was a nice guy. Then Beth started inviting him to our group outings and events. Nic eventually ask me out to dinner, and we had a wonderful time and the rest is history!!!

Our group of friends have had a Secret Santa party for about 10 years. A rule is you can’t draw your significant other. Last year we did a virtual draw, but due to an error the first time, names were drawn twice. After the second draw, Nic tells me he has Beth. I ask for weeks if he would like help picking a gift for her to which he replies, “No no I have it handled”. The day of the party (12/26/21) its Beth’s turn to open and she announces, “Ashley is my Secret Santa”. Confused, I look at her and tell her Nic is her Secret Santa. Beth pulled a lie so quick it was impressive and says Ashley must have used the first draw name. I was disappointed when I looked that the last gift was Nic’s to Beth and I hadn’t received one. I thought the error meant I wasn’t getting a gift this year. When it was Nic’s turn to hand out his gift, he instead handed it to me saying he had me. Still confused I started opening box after box (nesting box style) until I got to a white Shane Co. box. Crying now, Nic sitting next to me, and in true Nic style asks: “So, you feel like getting married?”
