Nicole and Zach first met in middle school but only began dating during their last week of high school. Zach invited Nicole to dinner at Piesanos Pizza, where they reminisced and discovered they were both planning to attend Florida State University. Their longstanding friendship blossomed into a relationship that grew stronger as they embarked on their next chapter together.

On a tranquil Easter Sunday picnic in their favorite park, Zach surprised Nicole by dropping to one knee with a ring in hand. Nicole, initially thinking it was a joke, burst into laughter before realizing Zach's heartfelt sincerity. With lots of enthusiasm, she said yes, marking a cherished moment they'll always remember.
