We're getting married!

In 2009, Nick and Patty both started as freshman at Ohio State University and met through mutual friends in January 2010. Nick came with these mutual friends (Shoutout to Scott and Anthony!) to a party at Patty's college house. While there was an attraction right away, Patty and Nick remained just friends. In January 2013, Nick and Patty went out to a college bar to celebrate Anthony's birthday, and they've been together ever since. Over the last 8+ years, from navigating long distance, starting careers in new states and growing their lives together, they've become the couple they are today.

It seemed like just a normal weekday. Patty was cleaning up the kitchen after dinner when Nick walked up the stairs with flowers. Nick said they were "just because" flowers and he asked her to grab him a vase. When Patty turned around with the vase, Nick was on one knee asking her to marry him. Patty said, "Oh my god" six times before realizing she hadn't said yes. Of course, she said YES. Nick and Patty are so excited to celebrate their lives together with their family and friends. See you in Cle!
