We met at Lehigh University on the first day of orientation! We actually lived in the same freshman dorm but on separate floors our freshman year. We became friends instantaneously, and became even closer friends when we both joined the ultimate frisbee team. We took classes over the summer between our Freshman and Sophomore year, and that's when we made it official. We continued to play frisbee throughout college. Jeremy became the B team captain of the guy's team while Nicole became the first B team captain of the girl's team. We then lived in Allentown, PA for 2 years after graduating in 2020. Since then, we have adopted two cats, Jim and Michael Scott, and moved to Easton, PA. We were together for 7 years (Lehigh frisbee alumni know that's a special number to the team ;) ) before Jeremy popped the question!
July 13th, 2024 was a whirlwind of a day! Jeremy first took Nicole on a hike on trails they had frequented when we lived in Allentown, PA. With it being 90°F+, and both Jeremy and Nicole soaked to the bone in sweat, Jeremy decided to hold off on the engagement until later. He then brought Nicole to the Lehigh Valley Zoo, knowing how much she loves animals. After a hearty cup of Dippin' Dots (one of Nicole's favorite sweet treats), Jeremy surprised Nicole with dinner reservations at their favorite restaurant in Easton, PA, Third and Ferry Fish Market. Afterwards, Jeremy brought Nicole to the riverfront, overlooking the New Jersey border. On the balcony over the water, Jeremy asked Nicole to marry him, and the rest is history. There is now an engraved lock on the fence overlooking the water that was purchased in Milford, PA (where we are getting married!) that will forever commemorate the engagement.
