From HIS side: I've always desired to have a companion to share life with. To adventure with. To laugh with. To love with. To worship with. My heart desired the role of husband. I tried dating sites before and so I decided to give it one more try. This would be my last "shot in the dark". June 21st I sent this lovely lady with an interesting, quirky page a smile and the next day, June 22, 2018, was the start of a new season, a new journey in my life. I did not know that the girl I sent a smile to, was to be the woman God had for me. As I got to know her through Eharmony, texting and talking on the phone we decided to meet up and go on a date for the first time at Andretti's on September 1st, 2018. I prayed that I would not be blind or oblivious, and aware of anything that might be a red flag. That, if we both felt the same way at the end of the night, it was God's way of giving me the green light--His way of showing approval. Let's just say, after hanging out with her that day, experiencing her laughs, presence, genuineness, and just the way we naturally clicked and talked, I knew this was right. Quite frankly, I knew from the inside out, this beautiful woman, Elizabeth Hope Norton, would one day be my wife, Elizabeth Hope Nicolas.

From HER side: In a galaxy, far far away, there was a girl. This quiet girl lived among 4 rambunctious men. This girl eventually grew into a strong woman, included with heart barriers & tough skin. She loved all those around her but at times afraid to open her heart in order to be loved. Skip forward a few years, it's revealed that girl is me. The thought of online dating never seemed something of interest, but then I thought to myself, "God can work in many ways, including the internet." I decided to give it a last-ditch effort & I saw this profile of a very attractive man. Knowing that looks can sometimes be deceiving, I began stalking his profile. I read the most poetic, heartfelt proclamation of God & desire for marriage that I ever had. I moved on & waited to see if he would reach out - low & behold, I got a smile. We began conversing & a few weeks later we met up & sweated in competition at Andretti's go-kart. From the moment we met, I felt I knew him my whole life. He was & is truly a man with a heart of gold. Through perseverance, patience & so much love, he made his way past this girl's heart barriers. I thank God for this man who came into my life when I least expected it and loved me with Christ-like love. I am proud to be called, Elizabeth Nicolas.
