After talking back and forth on social media for about a week, we finally met in person on September 18th, 2016. What was supposed to be a drink or two and a typical awkward first date turned into many hours of conversation and an instant connection neither of us were expecting. We often talk about this first night and Anna remembers thinking to herself "Well, this was my last first date." We wanted to make sure we did not get carried away with our feelings so we decided to take our time and build a true friendship as well as a relationship. Nick asked Anna to officially be his girlfriend on New Year's Eve 2016 (It was about dang time accoring to Anna). Over the last two years, we have grown as a couple and as individuals, traveled near and far, binge watched A LOT of Netflix, and been there to celebrate good times and help each other through bad times. We have become a great team and best friends who are ready to take on whatever life throws at us. After a lot of discussion and thought (and some nagging from Nanners) Nick proposed at "our park" on November 19th, 2018. Anna thought we were just having a cute picnic when Nick pulled out the now infamous "I Love You Because" pillow. This time, instead of a note in its pouch, Anna found a ring. After a lot of giggling and only one attempt to run away, Anna said "Yes." We are so excited to start this journey together and we can't wait to celebrate with all of the people we love most. Thank you for being a part of our story. - Nick n’ Nanners
