Cole and Nina’s journey began long before their first date, all the way back in preschool. Though they didn’t know it at the time, their paths were already intertwined.

Years later, in high school, Nina developed a quiet crush on Cole. It took until senior year for Cole to finally catch on, but once he did, the spark between them was undeniable. Their first official date was a cozy movie night watching Toy Story, and from that night on, the two became inseparable.

From high school sweethearts to college companions, they grew up together, learning, laughing, and falling more in love with every season of life. When Nina was accepted into a doctoral program, they packed their lives into boxes and moved to Kentucky, ready to take on a new chapter hand-in-hand.

Through every milestone, every challenge, and every small, ordinary day in between, Cole and Nina have built a love rooted in friendship, shared dreams, and a deep sense of home in one another.

Now, they’re beyond excited to say “I do,” and to celebrate with the people who have been part of their story all along.
