Our Wedding

It all began with a fateful swipe and a digital leap of faith. When a stunning woman from Pulaski, NY, graced Nick’s phone screen, he knew he couldn't just say "Hey." Fearing he might be lost in the sea of "Sup?" messages, he deployed his secret weapon: The Thoughtful Corny Pickup Line™. It was a high-risk gamble that paid off in the best way possible—with a "LOL" heard ‘round the digital world.What followed was a marathon of messaging that could easily rival the length of a CVS receipt. Eventually, they decided to take the conversation offline and into a PF Chang’s. Over a mountain of chicken lettuce wraps and effortless conversation, the vibe was set.But why stop at dinner when you can test your survival instincts? The night escalated into a high-stakes gauntlet of axe throwing and Connect Four Basketball. Despite Nick’s questionable form and a few flailing plastic axes, no one required medical attention. While the "true" high scores of that night are still hotly debated to this day, one thing was settled: they were a perfect match.Since then, their love has been fueled by a steady stream of artisanal coffee, a shared passion for getting lost in random towns, and a mutual adoration for their furry companions. Of course, it hasn't all been peace and harmony—they still engage in "friendly" (read: ruthlessly intense) battles of Mario Kart.Realizing that life is simply better with a teammate for both the big adventures and the Rainbow Road shortcuts, they decided it was a total no-brainer to merge their lives into one. The rest, as they say, is history in the making.
