Typical story for this day and age. Nicole and Andrew began communicating through Direct Messenger on Instagram in August of 2018. After many messages were exchanged, Nicole and Andrew had their first date at Kickback Jack's in Garner, NC. With awesome Philly cheesesteaks and having a blast playing Music Bingo, they enjoyed each other's company and looked forward to more dates. Despite the distance, Nicole in Greenville, NC finishing college and Andrew in Clayton, NC beginning his career, their relationship flourished. Dating for 3 and a half years, they overcame Andrew's job change, Nicole's internship, Nicole's first teaching job, moving in together a half an hour away from their families, buying cars, adopting a sweet puppy, and many other obstacles and changes, Andrew made the decision to ask for Nicole's hand in marriage. Without any reluctance, she agreed happily (about time!). After many months of planning and arranging with so much help from their families, they look forward to a happy day to celebrate their marriage on May 6, 2023. Cheers to a life time of happiness and smiles!
