Our Wedding

Our Love Story

Our story began the way more and more modern love stories do, online. What started with a shared love for video games slowly turned into long conversations, and plenty of laughs.Shortly after we met online, Nicole already had a trip planned to New Jersey, and during that visit we met in person for the first time. What started as a simple meet up, turned into the start of a relationship that would grow stronger each and every year.Over the years, we built our relationship through tons of flights back and forth, long phone calls, vacations together, and plenty of unforgettable memories. Honestly at this point we can probably walk through Tampa Airport with our eyes closed, it just goes to say, no matter the distance, we always made it work and continued growing closer.In 2024, we marked an important milestone and moved in together, starting a new chapter of life together. In 2025, during a trip to Cancun, the big question was asked and we got engaged on the beach with the ocean as our backdrop and sand beneath our feet, followed by a romantic private dinner on the beach as we watched the sunset. Such a incredible view and an unforgettable moment that marked the beginning of a new chapter in our lives.By the time we will say “I do,” we will also be celebrating an unforgettable 12 years together. What started with video games turned into a relationship built on love, friendship, laughter and support. We feel incredibly grateful to celebrate this moment surrounded by the people who mean the most to us as we begin the next chapter of our journey together.Fun fact: Our relationship technically started with video games.. and we’re still pretty competitive. Let’s just say there have been plenty of rematches over the years.
