Our love story is a typical modern romance, it all started with a right swipe on Bumble in September of 2019 that landed us at a bowling alley on a quiet Tuesday night. From the first date Nicole knew Dan was a keeper - not only did he take it completely in stride that she beat him in every game but he didn’t bat an eyelid when we were accidentally yet significantly overcharged for our games, anyone who knows Dan knows that he is fiscally responsible and this surely killed him inside. The feeling was mutual, Nicole was as bright and bubbly as Dan hoped she would be. Over the next few months we enjoyed our first Christmas together and started what is now a tradition of picking out and collecting Christmas ornaments from places we visit together. We also took our first overseas trip together to Mexico to escape the winter cold, something we both can’t stand! Nicole is an avid traveler, so it was a non-negotiable for her that she find a partner who encourages and supports her passion. In March of 2020 Nicole returned home from a trip to South East Asia just as the world changed. Nicole and Hank packed up their stuff and went to stay with Dan and Sarge to get through lockdown together… and never left…! Since then, we have become an official family unit of 4 - much to Hank’s chagrin at his bouncy and often loud younger brother. We have gone on many more amazing vacations together both in the US and abroad including to London, Barcelona, Denmark, Norway and Jamaica. Over the last 2 or so years we have sold Dan’s house in Lake Hopatcong, moved into an apartment in Roseland and moved out again to buy our first house together - a perfect 1800s colonial in Fairfield with a huge yard for our big boy to run, our dream come true. Our relationship is built on friendship, mutual respect and the pure joy and ease that we get from spending time together, we are a team and each other’s biggest fans. We love to go on new adventures and spend time in our favorite family spot, Wilmington NC but we are equally as happy with Chipotle Friday’s at home watching TV with Sarge and Hank because just being together is enough for us. When considering how we wanted to celebrate our marriage, we decided that it was most important for it to feel authentic to us as a couple and focused on what this is really about - celebrating with our loved ones. We are honored to have you join us.
