Our story began in 2018 one night at a party at UCI, but not in the usual way. While everyone else was inside, Trevor was chatting with a mutual friend, when he happened to notice Nicole standing on the bridge nearby. He must’ve worked up some serious confidence, because a few minutes later, he walked over, and said, “You have beautiful eyes.”

It might have been a cheesy line, but it worked! We ended up going on a walk and talking for hours, completely forgetting about the party. We started hanging out—playing basketball, getting dinner, going to concerts, and doing all the usual things that eventually turned into something more. Not long after, we started dating, and Trevor got the full family introduction at Nicole’s mom’s wedding and he fit right in!
