We're getting married!

Our love story began nearly a decade ago when fate brought us together. I, Nicole, was just 18 years old, starting my college journey, unaware that my future fiancé, Michael Iverson, lived just blocks away. We met on Tinder, a twist of fate in the digital age. From our very first conversation, I sensed something special about Michael. My first impression was, 'Wow, he is so handsome.' Feeling a bit intimidated, I decided to leave almost immediately after our initial meeting. Yet, right after I left, Michael texted me to ask if I wanted to hang out again the next day. One of our earliest dates was a delightful surprise for Michael—I took him to meet my grandma Doris and little cousins. He had no idea he was going to meet most of my mom's family, but he handled it with grace and won their hearts immediately. Our journey together has been filled with countless memories and adventures. From consoling each other through the loss of loved ones to navigating job transitions and relocating to St. Paul together, we have steadfastly supported each other through life's ups and downs. Our bond is further solidified by our two adorable fur babies, Penny and Bella, who bring even more joy and love into our lives. Michael’s proposal was intimate and heartfelt, taking place on a beautiful Christmas Eve in 2020. This date holds special significance for me as it marks the anniversary of my grandparents, Grandma and Grandpa Rymer's marriage. As we prepare to say 'I do,' we share the values of family, faith, and commitment. We are filled with excitement for the future, dreaming of a life brimming with love and happiness, surrounded by the warmth of family and friends. We eagerly anticipate embarking on our next chapter together and look forward to welcoming children into our loving relationship. "You're off to Great Places! Today is your day!
