Who would have thought a Young Adults 4th of July party would turn into the start of our love story. Two souls attending the same church and not knowing one another. Our paths crossed after sitting on the opposite sides of the church. We had mutual friends who brought us together through our love for Christ and an ice chest that was needing to be filled. At this 4th of July party both Conor & Nicole were shy and unsure of how their paths would cross (they avoided each other like the plague). In front of everyone Jacob asked Conor to get ice to fill a cooler. Directly after asking Conor, Jacob asked Nicole to go outside to help get ice. The room fell quiet and awkward. While being outside Conor & Nicole awkwardly continued casual conversation through mutual interest of family and traveling. Small sparks started to fly in the background for both of them but they were unsure of what that would lead to. As the night concluded Conor offered to help Nicole walk out to her car. Nicole had assured Conor she would be okay on her own, however Conor knew that their story would not end there.
What's a better gift than giving a guy your phone number on your birthday? Conor & Nicole's story continued at Carefree Church a few days later at the conclusion of Sunday Service. Conor knew that he didn't want to let Nicole go without further seeking out what their spark was from the night at the 4th of July party. He made sure to find Nicole at church to ask for her number. There was still some nerves between the two unsure of what the future had in store for them. They had hoped for their relationship to blossom, but would not know until they had their first date and having continuous conversation. Conor & Nicole had discovered rather quickly that their view on faith, family, politics, and acceptance for one another as they were was incomparable to anyone else they had met before. Through these conversations Conor & Nicole both knew that it was meant to be and that they couldn't imagine life without one another. Each day moving forward they cherished one another and kept building towards a possible future together.
There was a trip booked to Miami for a Virgin Cruise Line to Conzumel and other locations. Nicole & Conor were packed and ready to go to enjoy the trip of a lifetime. Needless to say both Nicole and Conor knew this was going to be a special trip. They boarded their cruise ship for uncharted waters. While at sea they enjoyed an unforgettable trip filled with lots of conversations and new experiences. One late night after having an adventurous day both Conor & Nicole spent a night watching movies and discussing their dreams of the future. As the night went on they both got on a conversation where Conor knew without a doubt this was the woman he wanted to marry. Starring into Nicole's eyes he got down on one knee to ask her to be his wife. Tears of joy filled Nicole's eyes and she responded with yes. Looking forward to the future Conor & Nicole wanted to share their love with all their loved ones. They are looking forward to their wedding day and can't wait to share the love with all their family and friends. Thank you all for being apart of our story and celebrating us.
