One fateful night at the Loomis, Rick was out having a few brews with his bros while Nikki was hitting the town with her besties. Two acquaintances bumped into each other and a simple" Hey how are you" from Rick opened their communication line . Nikki was deep into nursing school and not looking for Mr. Right, but something about Rick piqued her interest . After some persistence, Nikki and Rick were off on their first date. 5 years worth of memories, 5 different addresses, and a forever home purchase, Rick FINALLY popped the question while the two were vacationing with friends in Mexico.
