Our story started in 2018, one evening at a party at UCI—but not in the typical way. While most people were inside, Trevor was outside chatting with a mutual friend when he noticed Nicole standing on a bridge nearby. A few minutes later, he walked over and said, “You have beautiful eyes.”

It might have been a cheesy line, but it worked! We ended up going on a walk and talking for hours, completely forgetting about the party. We started hanging out—playing basketball, getting dinner, going to concerts, and doing all the usual things that eventually turned into something more. Not long after, we started dating, and Trevor got the full family introduction at Nicole’s mom’s wedding and he fit right in!

We both graduated from UC Irvine in 2020. Trevor continued his studies at UCI, earning a Master’s in Electrical Engineering while Nicole went on to get her Bachelor’s of Science in Nursing from Concordia Irvine. Today, Trevor is working as a computer engineer at Apple, and Nicole as a Trauma RN at Scripps Hospital in San Diego.

After a long time spent home searching, we finally purchased our first house together in San Diego February 2024!

Trevor popped the question on a beautiful sunny day in New York April 2024!

We can’t wait to celebrate with all of you in Napa—good food, great wine, and an unforgettable weekend with our favorite people!
