We first connected at Oregon State University through mutual friends. While Nicole is from Happy Valley, Oregon, and Cooper is from Capay, California, it was at OSU that our paths crossed. From the start, we both felt there was something unique between us. On July 9th, 2022, we began dating, and shortly after, Cooper was drafted to play baseball. Though the distance kept us apart, it only made our relationship stronger. We learned to treasure every moment together. On November 16th, 2024, Cooper proposed, and we couldn’t be more excited to begin this next chapter of our lives. Through it all, we’ve felt God’s presence guiding us, and we are thankful for the way He’s shaped our relationship. As we step into this new adventure as husband and wife, we’re excited for the journey ahead and all the memories and blessings that come with it.
