In the summer of 2017, in the Hell's Kitchen neighborhood of New York City, Nick and Dani bumped into each other in a restaurant. When we got to talking, we immediately hit it off and began getting to know each other. Within minutes, we were stunned to figure out that we grew up just 25 minutes apart in the California Bay Area. Days later, Dani left for an acting job in Virginia for four months and on her days off, would travel up to New York, where we went on dates and continued getting to know each other (one particularly memorable date where we went to see the revival of Cats on Broadway). The years that followed entailed lots of trips to California, walks in Central Park, dinners and nights out with our incredible friends, quarantining with our parents in 2020, exploring new countries together, career changes, lots of moves all over the city and building an incredible life together. On July 20th, 2024, Dani thought the day would be spent at a charity event in Central Park - a scheme that all of our friends were in on. When we got to the park, Nick brought us to a gazebo, got down on one knee and proposed! We celebrated and called our families and then went to the second part of the surprise, a dinner at our favorite restaurant with many of our friends from New York. It was the most magical day and now on July 26th, 2025 we can't wait to celebrate our marriage with all of you.
