We are so excited to finally celebrate with you all!

After a dating hiatus on both of their parts, New Years 2016 brought Nikki and Michael to the best place to meet someone; the internet. After chatting online, they decided to meet at a local haunt, The Sparrow. Both nervous, and Nikki under the weather, they bonded over their Italian upbringings and french fries. While their New York baseball team allegiances put them at odds, they were inseparable from that point on.

Mike allegedly headed out early for a golf game with his buddies, but what Nikki didn't know was that Mike actually spent the morning wandering around Astoria with a change of clothes and a very important box in his pocket. Nikki spent her morning relaxing with some HGTV, completely oblivious to what the day held for her. She met up with her girlfriend at The Sparrow for what she thought was a casual Girls Brunch (she didn't even wash her hair!). Upon entering the restaurant, she was shocked to see Mike once again waiting in their first date spot, this time asking if they could spend the rest of their lives together. Once Nikki could form words, she happily agreed!
