NICOLE & MARK

Nicole and Mark's love story started October of 2019. Nicole moved to Macon, GA to attend Mercer University for grad school. The night they met, they were both at Overtyme Bar and Grill. When Nicole saw Mark, it was love at first sight. It took a while for him to approach her, and she was too shy to approach him, but when they finally built up the courage to talk to each other, it was an instant love connection.

 

They started spending every moment they could together. The couple would go on lunch dates before Mark went to work, or after Nicole got out of class. They would go to Dave and Busters for dinner, where one of Nicole's fondest memories is of Mark winning her a stuffed animal. The couple started taking trips together. Their first trip being August of 2020 to Vegas. Nicole was actually terrified of heights and flying, but Mark was able to pull Nicole out of her comfort zone, and the two started traveling even more. Traveling became their hobby, and is still something they love to do. The couple traveled to countries such as Aruba, St Martin, Belize, and Jamaica just to name a few.

 

Over the years Mark and Nicole have laughed together, made memories, and even put a few more stamps on their passports. There was a timeframe the two lived in different cities, but were still able to make it work, growing even stronger as a couple. They knew they were meant for each other, and when Mark met Nicole's family and she saw the instant bond, that's when she knew he was the one.

 

While on their trip to Dubai for Mark’s birthday, he decided to pop the big question. He decided to make Nikki his forever! Now starting their new journey together in Texas, the two are embarking on their next chapter as Mr. & Mrs. Samples.
