Nikki and Marco first met in 2018 through the love of fighting. Marco had a well established boxing gym in Hawthorne, CA, for 10 years at this point. Nikki had been managing, coaching and competing at an MMA gym in Redondo Beach, CA, also for 10 years up to this point. They met through business and what should have been a 20 minute meeting at most lead to hours. They couldn’t help feel drawn to eachother. Nikki and Marco knew from their first date - playing pool, darts and other games - they each met their other half. Both competitive, playful and with a zest for life and progressing in their passions - they felt an instant sense of meeting their twin flame. Nikki, with son Joshua, moved in with Marco just a year later and a little ray of sunshine named Thomas came soon after. In July 2022, on a family vacation in Cancun, Mexico, Marco couldn’t wait to pop the question. Their first morning in beautiful Cancun, Nikki was getting ready, Thomas was just waking up and Joshua on his phone - Marco LAYING IN BED popped out the ring and asked Nikki to be his wife. Nikki laughed, couldn’t believe it, and it was just perfect. The couple now runs the best boxing gym in SoCal, a fight shop and soon to open café. The family of 4 have a new puppy, Teddy, and are now 5 - that number may or may not grow ;) We're so excited for you to join us as we say "I do" at our wedding in April 2024. See you soon! #NikkiAndMarcoSayIDo
