We're getting married!

In a sandwich shop not so far away, fate decided to play cupid. It was by chance Nicole found herself walking into a Jersey Mikes with a “Now Hiring” sign taped to the door. Instantly for her it was love at first sight, but little did she know it was also the first time Ryan's attention had ever wavered while on the job. As they worked side by side, their love grew with every cheesy pick-up line and each perfectly crafted sub!

On their first date, Ryan took Nicole to her very first drive-in! He promised her Dad to have her home by midnight but as fate would have it Ryan’s battery died. Mortified, he had to call a tow service for a jump-start, and feared he would disappoint Nicole. Yet, as they patiently waited for assistance, Nicole couldn't help but laugh, finding the entire situation endearingly hilarious. At that moment, Ryan's embarrassment melted away. And as their night finally came to an end, they realized that their imperfect first date had only made them fall more madly in love...

Ryan and Nicole's favorite memories together are the ones that remind them of all the personal milestones they’ve experienced together. It started with long college nights studying together and turned into walking side by side with diplomas in hand. It grew into fun family vacations spent revisiting traditions and evolved into them discovering new places. Every chapter of their story unfolded bringing with it new jobs, new cars, new friends and of course a fur baby! Leading up to that fateful day they decided to move in together - merging their lives, belongings and quirks under one roof.

During their first trip to San Francisco together, Ryan decided it was the perfect time to pop the question. Although nervous, deep inside, he knew Nicole was his forever. So as the sun kissed the city's golden bridges, Ryan knelt down before Nicole, and surprised her yet again. Overwhelmed with joy, Nicole instantly said “Yes!” and Ryan felt like the luckiest man alive. They decided to celebrate the beginning of their forever with a love lock, and together locked it to a fence, forever overlooking their new favorite spot in the world!
