Although A&N had met once briefly at a mutual friend’s birthday party, they had no idea how intertwined their lives actually were until they found themselves once again part of the same group staying together in a condo in Telluride, their first actual conversation occurring after Alec roused himself from sleeping in (par for the course) while Nikki had been up for hours jogging trails and preparing party favors for the group (also on par), despite the fact that she had gotten in after midnight and he had been well rested for the past 3 days. After a wonderful weekend of laughing, listening to music and hanging out in one of the most epic locations in Colorado, they become fast friends. It only took one sweet text exchange over the following week and casual plans for a Fourth of July date to set this relationship into motion. Date #1 was certainly unforgettable (even though date number #1 was unknown to be a date by a certain someone who shall go nameless) and in no time at all, they recognized they had something special, and their love and admiration for each other kept growing. After a magical courtship just short of 2 years, Alec proposed to Nikki, leading us to this February, when they join their lives together.
