Some love stories start in the most ordinary places. Faith and Nich’s began at a pair of middle school desks.
In 2017, the two were seated next to each other in class, and Faith made it her mission to get the quiet kid to talk. It worked. Their friendship grew, and by August 2018 they realized how much they had in common, especially a shared love for animals. They officially started dating on October 12, 2018.
Over the next several years, from weekend trips to quiet nights at home, they explored new places, tried new things, and grew up together. On June 11, 2024, during a beach vacation, Nich proposed at sunset on Honeymoon Island in Clearwater, Florida. Faith said yes, with a few extra words thrown in.
On May 30, 2026, Faith and Nich celebrated their marriage at The Grange Hall, surrounded by about 130 family and friends, with a soft dusty blue and white wedding full of timeless details and plenty of joy.
A Soft Dusty Blue and White Palette
Faith and Nich built their wedding around a calm, classic palette of dusty blue and white that felt fresh for late spring.
Faith’s bouquet, designed by Dorcey’s Flowers, brought the colors together beautifully, with white roses, ranunculus, stock, and hydrangea mixed with airy stems of blue delphinium. Her three bridesmaids carried smaller bouquets in the same blooms and wore floor-length dusty blue satin dresses in a mix of necklines, each one complementing the others against The Grange Hall’s black exterior.
Bridal Style with Pearl Details
Faith chose a strapless gown with a sweetheart neckline and a structured corset bodice covered in floral lace appliqués, finished with rows of pearl buttons along the boning. The fitted skirt flowed into a long train for a look that was both modern and romantic.
She carried the pearl theme through her accessories with a pearl-scattered veil, pearl drop earrings, and a delicate pearl pendant, and wore her hair in a sleek low bun with soft face-framing pieces styled by Ava Goretz, with makeup by Morgan Sobas.
Nich looked sharp in a navy suit with a crisp white shirt, a silver floral tie, and a white rose boutonniere that tied back to the bouquets.
A Patio Ceremony Facing the Glass Doors
At 4:30 p.m., Faith and Nich exchanged vows on The Grange Hall’s north patio, facing the barn’s large glass garage doors. With an intimate wedding party and close family and friends gathered around them, the ceremony felt personal and relaxed, setting the tone for the rest of the evening.
Portraits with a Vintage Convertible
One of the standout moments of the day came during portraits, when the couple posed beside a vintage red convertible parked beneath one of the large shade trees on the property. The classic car, with its cream soft top and whitewall tires, added a nostalgic touch and made for some of the most memorable photos of the day.
A Reception Full of Love
Inside, the reception space was filled with round tables dressed in light blue linens from Pine Acres, white chairs, and white florals that carried the palette indoors. As family and friends looked on, Faith and Nich shared their first dance as husband and wife in the center of the room.
Guests enjoyed dinner from Chef’s Parlour and drinks from Tipsy Chicks, while DJ Jillian Morse of Sonus kept the celebration going late into the evening.
A Glowing Ribbon Wand Send-Off
To close out the night, guests lined up outside the barn with ribbon wands wrapped in twinkle lights. As the ribbons waved and the lights glowed against the evening sky, Faith and Nich made their way through the crowd and stopped for one last kiss in front of The Grange Hall’s glass doors.
From a middle school friendship to a sunset proposal in Florida, Faith and Nich’s wedding was a beautiful celebration of years of growing up and growing together.
