Bek and Nick’s story began back in 2017, during the days of spontaneous nights out, music festivals, and dance floors that didn’t seem to end. They met at O’Donoghue’s pub, where Nick’s dance moves quickly made him the life of the party, though not necessarily in a way that would sweep someone off their feet. Still, they hit it off as friends, bonding over a shared love of good times and plenty of laughs. Things started to shift in 2020. Group hangouts became more frequent, and Bek began to notice something in the way Nick would look at her after making a joke, a quiet check to see if he’d made her laugh. Their connection deepened gradually, through small moments and conversations that began to feel like more than friendship. Eventually, Nick asked Bek out on a proper date. They spent the day at Taronga Zoo, despite Nick nursing a concussion from rugby the day before, and it felt like something meaningful was beginning, even if they didn’t fully admit it at the time. Their path wasn’t exactly straightforward. There were plenty of “are they or aren’t they?” moments, dates that felt like more, followed by stretches of uncertainty. But the connection was always there. Over time, Nick began to show he was ready for something real. One night, during a late conversation, he said, “I love you.” That changed everything. From there, things moved quickly. They bought a house, adopted their dog Heyhey, and started building a life together. Then, in November 2023, during a weekend away, Nick proposed. Bek didn’t need a second to say yes. Now, five years into their relationship, they’re getting ready to celebrate their wedding surrounded by the people who’ve seen it all, from the first dance floor to the big ‘I do’.
