On Saturday, February 2nd, 2019, my best effing friend on earth + life partner got down on one knee and popped the question! Even though Nico and I had spent the last 7 years together, I would be lying if I said I saw this coming — I was in shock beyond belief. Our journey together has forever felt like ‘new love’. I still get butterflies knowing he’ll be home by the time I get home from work, or whenever his name pops up on my phone. He calls me the second he leaves work at night, and we don’t hang up until he parks his car and says “I’ll see you in a minute” – every single day. & it NEVER. GETS. OLD.
I'll save you from the sappiness, but I must admit one of my favorite parts about our relationship (which, I promise has been confirmed by plenty of sources): that “third wheel” vibes don’t exist. Nico and I have a ton of mutual friends since we are college sweethearts... and nothing is more comforting than knowing our friends never feel awkward “tagging along the way" with us. And that is exactly how February 2nd went down.
