Nicole's perspective: It all started at Old Orchard Beach... or so we thought. Here I was, sitting on the beach, when I looked up and saw a tall, handsome, and very sunburnt young man. Nathan was a bit too shy to talk to me, so after our week at Old Orchard Beach, we went our separate ways. Luckily, we were soon reunited at the Jack and Jill for our little matchmakers, Kate and Kevin. Long story short, we got to chatting, exchanged phone numbers, and dates started shortly after. As we got to know each other, we learned that we had met many years before, and together shared memories of playing wiffle ball and building scarecrows as little kids. Fast forward several years to 2022, Nathan worked up the courage to ask me to marry him, and with no doubts in my mind, I said yes! We have enjoyed every minute of our engagement and are so excited for the day we can be husband and wife! Nathan's perspective: The first time I met Nicole was in Old Orchard Beach, Maine. When I first saw her, my first thought was that she was absolutely beautiful. I remember Kevin trying to get me to talk to her but I was so nervous. Luckily, Kevin kept trying and eventually helped me work up the courage to talk to her. We started to text and went on a few dates, and I quickly realized how kind, smart, and loving she is. After 4 years of getting to know each other, going on fun dates, and through every up and down, I feel so lucky that she said yes to becoming my wife. Life with Nicole has already been so fun, and I am so excited for the next chapter of our lives together. I love her with all my heart.
