Nick and Christina met the old-fashioned way, through mutual friends. At a birthday party, their connection was immediate. Nick, not one for subtlety, made his intentions clear. After spending the entire day together, he went for it, kissing Christina, and told her to text him the next day. She "levitated" home. Their first date set the tone. Nick planned a full-day “test”: stand-up paddleboarding through the Naples canals, jumping off a bridge into the water, changing in the car, then dinner… followed by a bar because neither of them wanted it to end. Nick and Christina both knew it was something special as each said "I'm in trouble." It didn’t take long for things to get serious. Within a few weeks, when friends asked how it was going, Christina responded, “I love him." Nick promptly deleted the dating apps. Six weeks in, after an Angels game, they made it official. The very next week, Christina joined Nick on a work retreat, and shortly after, Nick was off to meet the Brandlin family on their annual Catalina trip. From the beginning, it felt different. Neither had known a love so wonderful nor so easy. Like everything in their lives had led them exactly here and everything seemed to make sense. Then came Curaçao, a trip that felt more like a honeymoon than a vacation. Surrounded by actual honeymooners, Nick and Christina somehow managed to be the happiest couple there. If there was any ounce of uncertainty about their future together, it was blown away during that trip. Not long after returning, Nick asked Christina to look at rings. Soon after, he proposed in front of her entire family (and hidden away, Nick's family as well) during a trip to Pismo Beach. Nick and Christina share a deep faith and a relationship built on honesty, compassion, and love. They are beyond excited for you to join them in celebrating this next chapter and to devote their lives to one another, forever.
