Nikki and Pete met sophomore year in St. Joe's dorm at Providence College and it was an instant connection. After falling in love at PC and a few years of long distance, they moved to Chicago to start a new chapter. In the fall of 2020 they headed back to the East Coast, for what was seemingly an innocent trip home, though Pete had other ideas. He brought Nikki to a beautiful spot in West Hampton, got down on one knee, while their families watched from a distance, and asked her to spend the rest of their lives together. They celebrated with a weekend full of friends, family and champagne.
