It’s February 2020…

After 6 months of working side by side, then a month of non-stop phone calls/facetimes our first date was set… a romantic getaway in the Alps at the end of May. A weeklong vacation that included glamping at a chateau in the Swiss mountainside with adventurous hikes in a fairytale setting. But we simply couldn’t wait to see each other. Before you know it, early April flights were booked to Dublin and the Alpine adventures were leapfrogged by pubs and the Irish countryside.

We couldn’t wait for our Euro adventures…

It’s March 2020 and we all know what happens next. All flights were cancelled and replaced with a one-way from Frankfurt to Chicago. 14 days later, a plan for our first date was set once again, hoping the third time was the charm. Rather than hiking in Switzerland or galivanting around Dublin, it was dinner at the Miller Family House. Marc and Nicole enjoyed a romantic meal accompanied by Alan, Pam, Kayla, and Jordan. Thankfully Marc and the Millers hit it off and a silver lining of COVID had shown itself as 4,000 miles apart turned into just 20.

After 6 months of quarantine…

Marc and Nicole were back to doing long distance again, at first between Chicago and Charleston, then to Charleston and Atlanta. Flying and driving couldn’t slow them down. They also enjoyed plenty of stops to Golden for family time with the Fasshauers. The long and winding road led to the door of an Old Fourth Ward apartment with Marc and Atlas. Home is wherever the heart is…pictured below are the are the places that have our heart.
