Nicole and Aaron met on Hinge three years ago—she was living in Tampa, and he was in Dallas at the time. Life pulled them in different directions for a bit, but fate clearly had other plans. Their paths crossed again when Aaron moved to Jacksonville, and what began as a simple reconnection quickly became something much more. From their very first FaceTime, there was an undeniable connection. Their first in-person date happened to fall on Aaron’s birthday, and they spent it at a Rays game—an evening that set the tone for what would become a beautiful and effortless relationship. They shared not only the same values, goals, and sense of humor, but also a deep love for Alabama football (Roll Tide!). For months, Nicole and Aaron made the four-hour drive between St. Pete and Jacksonville every weekend just to spend time together. And after four months of long-distance, Aaron made the move to St. Petersburg to be with Nicole full time. Their love story wouldn’t be complete without mentioning their two loyal sidekicks—George and Trout, their Labrador retrievers—who became fast friends and have been inseparable ever since. What started as a swipe turned into a lifelong partnership, built on love, laughter, and weekend road trips—and now, they can’t wait to say "I do" surrounded by the people who mean the most.
