Shawn first met Nicole in high school. Nicole noticed Shawn first and built up the courage to ask a mutual friend to introduce them. They were introduced after school and bonded over their love for punk music.
Nicole was usually very serious, but she couldn’t help but be drawn to Shawn’s carefree and spontaneous nature. Just like magnets.
Shawn first knew Nicole was the one after their one-year anniversary. They might have been sixteen, but they were sixteen and in love.
Shawn purchased Nicole’s ring from Cartier in Tyson’s Corner, VA. And our photographer couldn’t help but give it it’s own photoshoot.
Despite knowing Nicole was the one after their one-year anniversary, Shawn waited until their 12th year celebrating their everlasting love for one another during a trip in New York to propose. Twelve is their lucky number (March 12th is their anniversary) and Shawn thought what better way to propose than at the top of the world, at One World Observatory.
