We met on March 26, 2013 at the Radisson Hotel in Downtown Minneapolis. Nicole worked in Housekeeping and Allen worked at the Front Desk; he had been working there for a few years before Nicole came along and changed Allen’s world. Nicole met Allen on her second day and he was asked to train her in at the Front Desk. When Nicole shook his hand she felt a spark! They slowly started to get to know each other and they bonded over mutual love of coffee!! Every morning that both Allen and Nicole worked they snuck away to grab coffee at Starbucks in the IDS Crystal Court. Coffee “dates” turned into dinner “dates” and that turned into our first date in October of 2014 at a wedding for Nicole’s friend. We officially put a label to our relationship after a Twins game in 2016.
