Our love story began at Saint Leo University, a place I never imagined would change my life forever. I wasn’t looking for love, but fate had other plans. It all started one afternoon in the cafeteria when I found myself struggling with the soda machine. That’s when Nick, with his easy smile and kind eyes, stepped in to help. What began as a small act of kindness slowly grew into something so much more over the course of the semester.

Our paths kept crossing, often surrounded by the laughter and chatter of mutual friends. Over time, we started gravitating toward each other, seeking each other’s company more and more. Eventually, we found ourselves choosing quiet moments together over the crowd. Every week, we’d exchange little tokens of affection, Nick would bring me my favorite Arizona Iced Tea, and I’d bring him his favorite snacks. These small gestures became our own silent language, a sign of our growing connection.

With every shared experience, our bond grew deeper. Nick was there for me through everything, from life’s silly mishaps like the time I accidentally got a Tide Pod in my eye to the big milestones, like moving out and starting a new chapter together. When Nick bought a house, it became our home. My dog, Wifi, moved in, and soon our family grew with the addition of Cannoli, a playful little brother for Wifi.

The four of us Nick, me, Wifi, and Cannoli are now inseparable. Together, we’ve created a life filled with love, laughter, and unwavering support. Our hearts are intertwined in a way that feels like destiny, as if we’ve always been meant to find each other. As we look forward to our wedding day, Nick and I are filled with excitement for the future. Through every high and low, we’ve always had each other’s backs, and we’ve learned that true love isn’t just found it’s nurtured and cherished every single day.
