It all started in 2013 at a well-known annual event, Midnight Gladness at Shady Maple, that Ryan and Nicole first met. Through the aid of a mutual friend, Ryan and Nicole sporadically kept in touch over the next two years. Whenever they saw each other at the same gathering, he made it a point to walk over and talk to her (so sweet)! Making an impression on Nicole, she knew that she wanted to get to know him more and it certainly helped that she found Ryan pretty attractive as well ;). After slowly becoming more and more connected, at the end March 2016, Ryan asked Nicole to be his girlfriend.

After a busy week of being with friends and having “work dates”, they decided to take the night off and spend it together as an actual date night! Suggesting that they should dress up, Ryan picked up Nicole at her house and they headed off to a nice dinner. Arriving back at Nicole’s house and ready to go inside and relax, Ryan simply hesitated before he uttered, “I have a question for you”. Right away Nicole knew exactly where the night was heading. Believing that it wasn’t the right time with having a busy summer already, Nicole admitted “Luckily enough for me though, Ryan didn’t think so!’. After saying “YES” to forever with Ryan, they spent the rest of their date night on cloud 9 with the biggest smiles on their faces! <3

Ryan + Nicole, it has been such a treat to work with you guys and I’m so glad that you are going to be (so far!) the first wedding of the 2018 season! What a great way to start off the year!:)  I loved getting to know you guys better (well, reconnecting with you Nicole!) and seeing the way you love each other so well. I cannot wait for March 2018!! Enjoy some of my favorites!!
