It all started on New Year's Eve- ringing in 2017 at the Tourlitis house. What was supposed to be just another party turned into something unforgettable. Nicole's parents threw a true NYE bash- neighbors, family, friends, and even her uncle's live band filling the house with music. In walked Nick, alongside Nicole's cousin Bryan (who also happens to be Nick's best friend). She had heard Nick's name in passing over the years but the two had never crossed paths. It felt like fate. Somewhere between the talking, laughing and celebrating, something just clicked. The next morning, a small group headed to brunch in Aston, PA- where Nicole's mom-mom Mary confidently announced, "I give Nick my blessing to date my granddaughter!" *Cue instant blushing* They had just met, after all- but there was already an undeniable spark. From that point on, the two were inseparable. Most days were spent in West Chester, PA, before eventually making the city their home. In Manayunk, they found their first apartment, welcomed their dog Graham, and continued building a life together. And now, in a full-circle moment, they'll be saying "I do" just across the river from where it all began. Nicole & Nick can't wait to officially become The Croce's!
