Nicki met Adam on an online dating site in April 2011. She was in veterinary school in Florida and he was a canine handler in the military stationed in Georgia. They lived about 90 minutes apart when they met, but then found out that they’d grown up 15 minutes from each other in Connecticut.

When Adam proposed, he coordinated both of their families to come together the day after Thanksgiving. They both have big families so there were about 40 people present. He had a craft time set up for the kids intended to draw everyone into the same room. While there, his mom started handing out the family’s yearly matching Christmas pajamas. It’s tradition in Adam’s family that significant others don’t get pajamas until they’re engaged or married, never as a girlfriend or boyfriend! Well after handing them all out, she called Nicki’s name and said that she decided to break tradition (because the two of them had been together 6 years by then!) Amid the chaos and protests from his siblings, Adam came out from the bunch and said “actually, she isn’t breaking tradition.” Then he got down on one knee and said to Nicki “you know I love you more than anything in the world. I want to wear matching Christmas pajamas with you for the rest of my life. Will you marry me?”
