Our story

Emily and Nico first met in the Winter of 2018 while starting their first jobs out of college. Nico recalls that Emily “looked like she ran the place” despite starting two weeks after him. Needless to say, the two quickly became friends, though Nico had intentions for something more. After a few weeks, Emily noticed that Nico always chose the desk right next to hers, frequently asking if she’d be in the same spot tomorrow. He would get to know her friends, working hard to get their approval. Meanwhile, Emily found herself talking about “this funny guy from work” in conversations with friends and family. When asked for more details, she even admitted she thought he was pretty cute. Emily’s intellect preceded her, as it wasn’t long before she realized Nico’s interest went beyond friendship– and she was more than okay with that. Their first “date” came on a fine Summer’s Eve in 2019, when Nico suggested dinner after a long day in the office. Emily, just as eager to spend more time with him, happily agreed. What started as a work romance quickly blossomed into over five years of memories and adventures together. Whether gallivanting through San Francisco, skiing in Tahoe, rolling the dice in Las Vegas, or relaxing together on a beach in Mexico, they have been inseparable from the start. Friends and family can attest they are a match made in heaven (despite supporting AFC West rival teams).

Proposal

Fast forward to June 22nd, 2024. Nico proposed to Emily on a lookout point in front of the Golden Gate Bridge at sunset. San Francisco, where it all began for them, continues to be a cornerstone in their relationship, holding countless memories of their journey together.Emily and Nico are grateful for all the family and friends who have supported them throughout the years, each of you has a piece in the love story that will bring them together on October 25th to celebrate this beautiful chapter of their lives.
