We met in the dining hall of Garrett's dorm. Nicole was working and Garrett was eating four bowls of Lucky Charms after playing ball at the Rec Center with some friends. A mutual friend introduced them and the rest is history...

Over a few years Garrett and Nicole went from friends to dating. Their relationship made it through long distance (while Nicole was teaching in Malaysia), and many moves where they finally landed in Pittsburgh.

June 30th, 2022 after many years together, G finally popped the question. In the garden of our favorite coffee shop, what Nicole thought was a typical day grabbing matchas after work, he went on one knee while a friend played Nicole's favorite song in the background.
