It all began during Candace’s final semester in her respiratory program, when she picked up extra shifts at the Safeway Starbucks. Across the store, working late nights at Safeway, was Nick — someone she had seen in passing but never spoken to. One evening, Nick walked over to the kiosk, introduced himself, and sparked a conversation that neither of them expected would matter so much. From then on, their workdays were filled with small moments — quick chats between customers, shared smiles, and the slow, steady rhythm of two people getting to know each other. Eventually, they began dating, spending days and nights talking, sharing beers, and laughing until time slipped away. What started as a simple hangout became the beginning of something real — something easy, natural, and meant to last. From quiet conversations on the clock to building a life off the clock, their connection grew into love… and that love grew into forever. Now, surrounded by the people who mean the most, Candace and Nick are excited to celebrate the next chapter of their story — the one they’ll write together.
