Max and Nicole connected on an online dating platform, Coffee Meets Bagel, in early 2017. After exchanging a few messages back and forth, we agreed to meet up for drinks after work. Over taco pierogies and beers at JukeBox in Hingetown, we realized we had many shared interests, including travel, exploring new restaurants and going to events. It didn't take long for us to realize how much fun we'd be having doing those things together. We've traveled the country and the world, from Las Vegas to Louisville, Vietnam to Jamaica. We were engaged in beautiful, sunny Santa Barbara in December 2019. 2020 brought challenges for us all. We navigated through a long distance relationship, merging homes, and a new job. Despite these challenges, our relationship has strengthened and solidified our desire to spend our lives together. We are so excited to celebrate our wedding with you and dance the night away!
