Nick and Janine first met when they were both traveling the Philippines in May 2016. Nick arrived in the beach town of El Nido less than a day before Janine was scheduled to leave the island. They were connected through a mutual friend and decided to meet up for dinner. After finding similar interests in travelling, reading, history, and Lord of the Rings, Nick was hooked. During that first night, Janine asked Nick to add music suggestions to her phone and confessed the passcode was a significant date in American history. Nick immediately got down on one knee and ‘proposed’ (there are pictures below to prove it!). Janine laughed it off. They kept in touch for a few months and in September Janine finally agreed to go on one date with Nick. Six years, five homes, and two kitties later, Nick proposed (technically for the second time) while they were on vacation in Mexico. Janine knew this time that YES was the only answer.
