We met back at Umass Amherst at a mutual friend’s birthday party in April of 2018. We had gone to school together all 4 years and not met a single time! Jeremy came with a friend to a party for two of Nicole’s good college friends’ birthday about a year after graduation. We met that night and chatted the whole night, but we both went our separate ways until later that summer, where we rekindled and went on our first date in August. We bonded over our very similar family backgrounds and our very parallel college experiences and started dating in October of 2018. We moved in together after about a year, bouncing around to various apartments, living with good friends and finally became home owners in 2021. After 5 years together, on June 24th, 2023, Jeremy popped the question in one of Nicole’s favorite spots, Colt State Park in Rhode Island. And the rest is history!
