Nic and Rosie met after their senior year of college in June 2022, right after Rosie had moved her life from Pennsylvania to the Madison area to complete her student teaching internship. By providence, Nic had just moved to the area from West Virginia after accepting a job at Epic. Although Rosie knew from the beginning that, at the very least, they would be good friends, Nic was busy adjusting to life in the Midwest, a demanding job in his field directly out of college, and disc golf. Well, mostly disc golf. The two struck up a friendship filled with unending teasing, laughter, and the love for the same shows and memes. It was December when Rosie finally realized that her feelings were growing for Nic as someone who was more than a friend and found herself making extra effort to spend time with him as months passed. Nic was still busy with disc golf. One of Rosie’s favorite memories is the first time Nic took her disc golfing in June of 2023, along with some other friends, and how he so eagerly ran to find every one of the discs she so gracefully threw in the bushes, woods, and trees. He retrieved every single one so she wouldn’t get scratched by thorns or covered in poison ivy. Nic was a fabulous caddy for Rosie but was also covered in many, many burrs, scratches, and bug bites that summer. Rosie has since improved her game. Nic also stepped up his game that very summer when he so smoothly asked for Rosie’s Snapchat as he was leaving on a business trip to San Diego. “So I can show you the beach with all the seals”. We all knew what Nic was playing at and are happy to announce that their Snap Streak is still going strong today. Nic spent his week-long trip realizing how much he was missing Rosie and decided he never wanted to spend that much time away from her again. When he came back, he immediately asked her out and shortly after asked her to be his girlfriend (ask the couple about the many mishaps that came out of their first three dates)! Nic and Rosie can count on both hands how many days they’ve spent apart since they began dating and would like to keep it that way. Nic proposed on his favorite hike at the New River Gorge just before the New Year—December 30th, 2023. He doesn’t recall Rosie saying “yes” officially when he asked, but her response to him surprising her on that snowy hike surrounded by loved ones made it pretty obvious how she felt. Nic and Rosie are so excited for all of the adventures and next stages of life that they get to go through as husband and wife and as each other’s best friend. Thank you for joining on their special day!
