Nicole and Nick first met at Armanino. Nicole was assigned to Nick as a “buddy” which started their friendship. Shortly after getting to know each other at their workplace, they decided to spend some time together outside of work. Their first date was going mountain biking in Santa Cruz. Nicole was so nervous that she kept falling over on her bike and bumping into tree stumps and exposed roots. After the ride, they ended up at a local winery where Nicole, due to an injury she had sustained while riding earlier, could barely stand without showing signs of pain from her swollen ankle. Well after arriving, Nick ended up cutting the tasting short, taking Nicole back to her house. Instead of dropping her off and leaving, he stayed and visited, meeting her Father (Alan) and spending the remainder of the evening on the porch talking the night away with Nicole. Hours passed until finally Nicole’s Father came outside, strongly hinting to Nick that he should probably go home given the fact that it was 10:45PM on a Sunday evening. So, at around 11pm, Nick headed home with an hour long drive and non-stop thoughts of how the evening turned out. That night Nick managed to only get an hour of sleep in. He was so overwhelmed with how the day went with Nicole that he woke up his mom to talk to her about his feelings for Nicole. From then on out, their love grew like wild fire and not long after their first date, they became inseparable. After only three months of officially dating, Nick took Nicole on a hike in Reno, Nevada at 4:30am where he proposed to her on top of Mount Rose Summit. The rest thereafter has been history. Nick and Nicole are now looking forward to celebrating their marriage this coming August on the 24th with their closest friends and family!
