We're Getting Married

Time truly does fly when you're having fun! It's hard to believe that we met nine years ago at Temple University, and from that point on the chemistry between us has been undeniable. We have so much in common from our birthdays (yes we're both Aries) to our majors (nurses rock). It wasn't long before we started spending much of our time together. We enjoy playing/watching sports, going out to eat, going to the movie theaters and traveling just to name a few.

As I approached Marcus for the first time I remember thinking "OMG he's so tall", but height wasn't the only thing he had going for him. He was handsome, hilarious, and depending on the conversation, very intelligent. His smile had the power to change my mood instantly. I told myself over and over again that we were "just friends" but that didn't last very long at all.

I remember it like it was yesterday meeting Nik at Temple University. I remember the exact day she told me she was from Baltimore, a city which I only knew for the Aquarium and "The Wire" and now a city I call home. She was super smart, beautiful, and could cook. We had so many things in common from our enjoyment of watching sports to our love for traveling. I remember thinking September 2008 sitting next to her at Temple University with only knowing her for a few weeks this is someone I could spend the rest of my life with.

After eight amazing years together as girlfriend and boyfriend, Marcus finally got the courage to ask Nicole's hand in Marriage. Surrounded by our loved ones, in a lodge cabin off the ski slopes of Deep Creek Maryland, he took one knee and of course she said "Yes".
