Casey and Nicole met at a party held by some of their common friends. Casey decided to attend with the Set the Pace crew. Nicole, who happened to be at her friend Meredith's house at the time, also decided to drop by (still sorry about that, Mere!). Our friends introduced us and Casey was convinced that Nicole resembled Keira Knightley (no complaints here!). After rounding out the summer with a few dates, Casey invited Nicole to a Blink-182 concert in Albany just after getting back to school. Nicole attended with the help of a friend that happened to be traveling to Albany that weekend. The rest, well, was truly history! They spent the next few years between Albany, Long Island and Connecticut, visiting each other at college and spending time with both of their families. Some of their best memories and friendships came from Hofstra and Siena, both of which made their long distance relationship a very special one. Nearly 7 years and 3 apartments later, they decided to move to Boston where Casey was starting a new job and Nicole about to start a doctoral program. We took a trip to Newport for one last hurrah to end the summer.. then came home engaged! Our story involves so many friends and family members that were and still are integral to our relationship. We hope you know how much that means to us, and how truly excited we are to share our special day with you!
