Our Story

---

I like to believe that our story will last a lifetime. Nick and I fell in love at a very young age, I was 14 and a freshman in high school, and he was 15 and a sophomore. We meet through friends and being in band together. Right from the beginning I knew that our relationship was something special because we seemed to come alive together and never gave anything a chance to let that spark go out. Though young ages we went through a lot together and watched each other grow into who we are today. I think one of the things I love most about our relationship is that we are always told that we are special. "Nick and Dakota will last because they have that once-in-a-lifetime love". Nick ended up joining the army right after graduating and that's when I knew I would do anything to stay with him forever. Our love for each other is the, I will do anything and everything to keep you by my side type of love. And that is exactly what we did now 3 1/2 years of high school and 2 years of long distance we are starting the next chapters of our life together and couldn't be happier.
