Victor and Nickolie met at a networking event where Victor was speaking in Rino, Colorado. Nickolie had been invited by her friend Ally, and the two were introduced by Jodie. Later, Victor would admit he had already heard about Nickolie and had been told they needed to meet. At the end of the event, Victor asked Nickolie if she wanted to join everyone for drinks. She said yes — although “everyone” ended up being just Victor, Nickolie, and Ally. After Ally left, the two stayed behind and closed down Lustre Pearl Denver in RiNo, talking for hours like they had known each other forever. When the night ended, Victor offered Nickolie a ride home, and she made sure he understood one thing very clearly: he was not invited upstairs. But if you ask Nickolie what truly sold her on Victor was the phone call the very next morning asking if she wanted him to drive her back to pick up her car. That thoughtfulness, consistency, and follow-through became the foundation of their relationship and continues to this day. From that night on, they never really stopped hanging out. And the official day they started dating? The day they met.
