Our story beings in 2019...

One year ago yesterday, Curtis and I took a trip to Acadia National Park in Maine. He was nervously trying to find a quiet spot for us to take in the view together. I had no idea he was planning to propose, but when I turned around and saw him on one knee, I burst into laughter that lasted what felt like five minutes straight. It was just so funny! We’d been together for five years at that time, both having come out of long-term marriages that didn’t work out. With our seven kids nearly grown, I knew how much we loved each other and all we had been through together. Still, I was shocked and surprised. Curtis has been nothing but loving and supportive through the most challenging years of my life. And being there for me while raising my children into adulthood. I absolutely adore his family as much as he adores mine. In just 34 days, I’ll be his wife, and I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life annoying him. I love you, Curtie. You are the love of my life. Love, Nikkonia
