Nick and Tessie worked at Campus Pub in Lexington, Kentucky throughout college together. They started to date shortly after college when they hung out more socially and have been dating for the past 6 years. Nick proposed in February of 2019 before the Elton John farewell tour in Cincinnati, Ohio (their current town) on the Kentucky side of the river with the city in the background. Tessie's best friend and Matron of Honor, Megan Beyerle, her husband and Tessie's cousin Ross Beyerle, and Tessie's mom Teri (who was dressed as a bank robber in the bushes) were hiding and taking pictures. Nothing was more perfect than being serenaded by Elton John to celebrate!
