Our story begins in March of 2023, as Jason was living in his NYC "frat house" and Nikki was traveling the country for work. Nikki woke up one Monday morning to a Hinge message from a very cute guy in a purple sweater asking about her Etsy shop. From the moment they started chatting, Jason’s charming conversational skills captivated Nikki. Unfortunately Nikki was still traveling every week for work so when they matched, she made Jason wait before they could have their first date. The two spent that time texting nonstop and even chatting on the phone at 12:30am so Jason could make sure Nikki was “real” and he wasn’t being catfished…again. As the day of the first date arrived, Jason asked to move the start time earlier because he just couldn’t wait to finally meet Nikki. He had a whole evening planned with a mini tour of NYC, starting at a speakeasy in Flatiron, and ending with chocolate martinis. As Nikki walked down the street to the speakeasy, Jason waited for her outside like the true gentleman he is. When they saw each other from a block away and locked eyes, they both knew right away that they had found the one! Almost overnight, their lives became intertwined. Between spending the summer in LBI and moving in together in NYC, Nikki and Jason couldn’t wait to spend the rest of their lives together! Nikki was sold on a life of excitement, spontaneity, and experiences. And Jason found the ying to his yang, someone who could keep up with him and rein him in when necessary, making him happier than he ever thought possible. Their playfulness and optimistic outlook on life brought the two together and guides them through life’s twists and turns.
