One night at volleyball, an insanely beautiful blonde rolled up in her Mercedes convertible and immediately caught David’s attention. Then she stepped onto the court and proved she wasn’t just stunning — she was a total badass athlete, too. He turned to his buddy and said emphatically (insert italian hand gesture), “Who is that?” His friend laughed and told him he’d never have a shot. But you know what they say about the shots you don’t take… so David took one. That so-called “no shot” turned out to be the best shot of his life and the beginning of Nicole and David's love story.

David planned the perfect little December getaway to Ellicottville, NY for a quick, cozy ski weekend. On a quiet morning in their chalet, as they were just waking up, Wallace brought Nicole the ring - a family stone thoughtfully reset just for her. There, in that simple yet intimate moment, they decided on forever. It was thoughtful, personal, and completely true to them.
