It was a beautiful, sunny Friday in SoCal. Robert was out celebrating his birthday in Old Town San Diego with his mom, son, Haes, and brother, Luke. They all had just gotten home when Luke and Robert decided to keep the celebration going by hitting up the local nightlife in San Clemente. Nico, on the other hand, was coasting down the 5 freeway on her way to her usual Friday night spot. Little did they know, their paths would cross in just a few hours... Robert is standing on the edge of the dance floor watching the crowd of people when Nico walks in to the bar and sees this handsome man standing all by himself. Usually she spends her nights people-watching but something about him caught her eye. So she walks right up to Robert and among the noise of the music and the crowd of people, she says, "Wanna dance?" He looks at her and smiles, nods his head yes, and they follow each other to the dance floor. They danced together all night and the rest is history!

Robert and Nico had just moved to their new home in North Carolina when they decided to fly out to California for the week so they could visit family back home and go to their friend, Taylor's wedding. In the weeks prior while booking plane tickets home, Nico asked her parents if they could PLEASE make a trip to Disneyland during their stay. #disneywithdrawals On that Wednesday afternoon, the whole family gets their Disney passes ready while Nico's cousin Nick signs them in to the park. They spent the whole day at Disneyland and ended up in California Adventure for dinner. It was already the best day ever. As they were walking up the new Pixar Pier, Robert grabs her hand, pulls her towards him, and says "I think this is the perfect spot. I want to ask you something." Nico is freaking out, frantically looking for her parents who are walking ahead, thinking they just stopped for a quick photo-op. They finally get the whole gang together, Nico's sister, Bunny, Nico's brother, Jimbo, Jimbo's girlfriend, Mailia, and Nico's mom and dad when Robert drops to one-knee and asks her to marry him! All she could do was cry and nod her head yes over and over. He puts the most beautiful ring she's ever seen on her finger and the whole crowd cheers! It was truly magical.
