The story of Photis and Nicole is truly a special one. It’s the story of a beautiful series of events, milestones, creating memories together, supporting each other’s growth, struggling and overcoming together, building two lives separately that intertwine so well, and most importantly: falling in love with each other more and more each day. 






Flashback to the year 2015. Nicole and Photis met while working together at the good old Continental restaraunt in AC, while unbeknownst to them; both attending Stockton University in Galloway, New Jersey.







 After almost one year of being friends, they finally went on their first real date to LB One Restaraunt in Egg Harbor Township, New Jersey on May 2nd, 2016. Photis greeted Nicole, walked in, and met her parents for the first time. He held the most beautiful bouquet of red roses. Having dinner at this very restaraunt on May 2nd every year has become a favorite tradition of theirs. This restaraunt was particularly special for Nicole, as it’s where her father proposed to her mother back in the late 80s. It wasn’t long after that first date they rescued and adopted their first fur baby, Benny. Shortly after, they moved in together at Upas Avenue off of Stockton’s campus. They both graduated and Photis pursued his doctorate degree in Biochemistry at Drexel University! This initiated the big move to Philadelphia in the Fall of 2018. 







Fast forward to the May, 2nd 2024: Nicole and Photis celebrated their 8th anniversary with a beautiful bouquet of red roses and a delicious dinner at Buddakan in Philadelphia. On the peaceful walk home, Photis got down on one knee and proposed in front of Nicole’s favorite building structure in Old City, Philadelphia. Let’s get married!! Xo
