Thallyta and Nolan’s story began long before their first date. They had matched on an app, stopped talking… and life simply moved on. Until one day, out of the blue, Thallyta decided to reach out again. That message led to their first date — a simple açaí in Ann Arbor — and from that moment, everything just clicked. The connection felt natural, effortless, and full of laughter.

Just two weeks after they met, something unexpected happened. It was Thallyta’s birthday, and Nolan showed up to celebrate with her — but he had something bigger in mind. He invited her on a spontaneous trip to Miami… a 20-hour drive together, to spend her entire birthday week. It sounded a little crazy — after all, they had just met. What if it went wrong? But she said yes. And it turned out to be one of the best decisions they ever made. Somewhere between long drives, laughter, and ocean views, everything fell into place. One evening, while watching the sunset, Nolan asked Thallyta to be his girlfriend — and in that moment, their story truly began.

From that point on, life together came naturally. They moved in together in October, building a home filled with love, laughter, and their two sweet cats. Whether it’s trying new restaurants, enjoying martinis and caipirinhas, traveling, camping, or simply watching movies together, they’ve created a life they truly love. The proposal reflected exactly who they are. On a simple day, Nolan cooked dinner for Thallyta — a meal she would later call the best he had ever made. In that quiet, meaningful moment, he asked her to spend forever with him. And of course… she said yes. Together, they dream of warm places, traveling the world, visiting Italy and Brazil, and continuing to build a life full of love, adventure, and shared moments. Because for them, love isn’t about perfection — it’s about choosing each other, every single day.
