Thomas (Tre) and Nicolle first met in a second-grade classroom at Hebron Valley Elementary, though it would be years before they became more than classmates.

​

In high school, they found themselves in the same circle of friends, and what began as an easy friendship became something more in December 2018, during their junior year. Their first date was at Andy's Frozen Custard, followed by years of high school football games, Chick-fil-A dinners, graduations, and the countless ordinary moments that quietly shaped their life together.

​

On August 30, 2026, Tre proposed aboard a sailboat on Grapevine Lake, a place woven throughout their story. It is where they have returned time and again to spend time with family and make some of their favorite memories.

​

Now, nearly two decades after they first met, they are looking forward to celebrating the next chapter with the people who have been part of their story all along.
