We're getting married!

Who knew a simple swipe would turn into all of this? On May 11, 2021, we matched online (..lol we know), and have been truly inseparable ever since. We bonded over our shared love for video games, comic books, movies, really everything. On our first date, we cruised over to Snappy Burger, where we watched Iron Man and spent the whole night laughing and nerding out. Right away, we could immediately tell this felt different. Fast forward 5 years of endless Disney roadtrips, spontaneous adventures, pulling gaming all nighters, and spending nearly every day covered in dog fur from our babies, Olive & Koda. In November 2025, we embarked on our dream trip to Japan, exploring Tokyo, Kanazawa, Takayama, Shirakawa-go, and finally Kyoto. Little did Nicole know that Alex had been planning their engagement well before they left, secretly telling their family and asking her parents for her hand in marriage. After a week of exploring temples and shopping, the day finally approached.. We climbed 12,000 steps to the top of Mount Inari, ate the best Wagyu dinner of our lives, and capped the perfect day off at Kodaiji Temple. Surrounded by the illuminated fall foliage, Alex proposed—and it was the easiest “yes” ever. We can’t wait to celebrate this next chapter with all of you 🤍
