Alicia & Nick

Our proposal story

We were spending the weekend in PEI, visiting Nick’s brother. Nick surprised me with a romantic dinner, starting with chocolate-covered strawberries, flowers, and a card. He asked me as soon as we reached the table- he said he was too nervous to wait any longer!



How we met 

We met online! He was in Edmonton for trade school, and I was in Red Deer finishing nursing school. The first 6 months of our relationship were long-distance.

Did you know you would end up together or was it a happy surprise?

This is a tough one! Nick is originally from Nova Scotia, and I had a feeling he would always want to move back there, and I never saw myself leaving Alberta. So, I guess I didn’t really think we would end up together, logistically. It turns out love was enough for me to leave Alberta and move across the country! We have been living in Nova Scotia for 2.5 years now.

 

Favorite part of your relationship?

My favorite part of our relationship is that we are friends first. Nick is always making me laugh, and we enjoy each other's company even when we aren’t doing anything exciting.

What do you look forward to for the rest of your life together?

We just bought our first home together, and we're really excited to start a family! We are both extremely family centered, so we can’t wait to have children, hopefully one day soon! I love that we are friends first. Nick is always making me laugh, and we enjoy each other's company even when we aren’t doing anything exciting.


Why did he or you choose the ring you did? 

I’ve had my eye on a ring similar to this for years. My friend Sarah and I would send each other different ring pictures back and forth all the time. This simple design was perfect for me. When Nick was ready to buy a ring, he wanted to know what I liked/wanted so, I showed him pictures of my favorites, and he nailed it.


Why Lawlor Jewelry? 

Anyone who grew up in Stettler knows that Lawlor Jewelry is the place to go when getting engaged, especially if you want something custom. I have always wanted a custom ring that I knew no one else would have. So when Nick started talking rings, I put him in contact with Mike. They started the planning and designing process! Nick said that Mike made the process so easy and he loved working with him.
