How We Met

March 2013

Before the diamond, Nicole and George met on the softball diamond. While attending school at Fordham University, Nicole and George were introduced by mutual friends when Nicole was invited to play on an intramural softball team. During the first game, Nicole and George had an instant and unexplainable connection without even speaking. It all started when George was up to bat and put on a show for Nicole and the team with a few butt shakes before hitting a dinger into play. After Nicole laughed at the antics, the rest was history.

The Proposal

2.15.2021

On President's Day Weekend, George and Nicole took a getaway trip to southern New Jersey. After a cozy weekend and Valentine's day, Nicole and George took a quick day trip to Long Beach Island on President's Day for some early lunch reservations before heading home. While on the way to the restaurant, George suggested they use some extra time before their reservation to explore the same beach where Nicole grew up visiting every summer as a child. As they made their way to the beach, Nicole spent some time taking in her old block on Texas Avenue and wondering how different the large new houses were. George did his best to hurry Nicole onto the beach to see the deserted winter beach front view. Much to Nicole's surprise, once they were at the edge of the water George got down on one knee and asked Nicole the most important question he would ever ask her. It had been his plan all along to surprise Nicole at her childhood beach destination, with a photographer waiting on the beach to capture the moment.
