We met while attending First Baptist Church of Tampa in Florida. Both of us were involved in the young adult ministry there and slowly got to know each other in the summer of 2024. Fun fact: we never formally met and simply just knew of each other!

Over that summer, there were numerous young adult hang-outs like sand volleyball, bowling, and going out to eat. Nick charmed Anne with his exceptional left-handed bowling (where he may or may not have put a gash in Jacob's brand new bowling ball) and great sense of humor. Then after a Sunday lunch trip to Ikea in late June (Nick's idea of course), Nick asked Anne out and for some odd reason she agreed to it. Nick planned an incredible first date at Ulele (with the much needed help of his Aunt Tiffany) and even paid a bunch of sharks to make an appearance in the Hillsborough River during the date.

Fast forward through an amazing 13 months of memories and dating, Nick asked Anne to marry him back in Tampa where it all started!
