We're getting married!

Mariana and Nicole met in Los Angeles, where Nicole was working and Mariana finishing her MBA. They spent their first date at the Griffith Observatory, learning about the wonders of space while also learning about each other, and they've been inseparable ever since. Two degrees, four years, and five states later, they're so excited to go back to where it all started and say "I do."

Nicole and Mariana spent two years long distance. One weekend, they decided last minute to meet halfway in the beautiful Berkshires of Massachusetts. While out enjoying the waterfalls, fall leaves, and spectacular views, Mariana took advantage of a quiet intimate moment to ask Nicole to marry her. Nicole of course said yes! And now they can't wait to spend the rest of their lives together.
