Our Story
Nick and Brooke met on September 8, 2018. Nick worked at a restaurant and Brooke worked at an ice cream shop next door. She went into the restaurant for her lunch break and he was the server who took her order. Brooke started talking to Nick because she thought he was so cute and hinted at him to ask for her number. He immediately texted her after his shift ended and they went on their first date 4 days later. On October 29, 2018, Nick asked Brooke to be his girlfriend.
In 2020, Nick moved into Brooke’s university apartment in Irvine. On April 26th of that year, they had their baby, a cat named Chiqqy.
On March 14, 2026, Nick proposed to Brooke at Crystal Cove in Newport Beach.
They’re getting married on their 9 year dating anniversary.
