Nikki and George met in medical school, where they were learning to care for others - but ended up finding the one who would care for their heart. From study sessions to stolen glances across the lecture hall, their love quietly bloomed amid the chaos of clinicals. What began as classmates became best friends, then soulmates. Now, their forever is just beginning.
From the first day of medical school to matching into residency, our journey has been one of shared purpose, perseverance, and deep love. Together, we have studied late into the night, leaned on each other through the toughest rotations, and celebrated every milestone — big and small. As we step into this next chapter as husband and wife, we are not just building a life together — we are building a future of healing, hope, and unwavering support. This is more than a love story; it is a shared calling, and we are just getting started.
