How did your love story begin?

I was an ICU nurse and he was a patient transport staff at the same hospital. He spotted me and I was initially attracted but thought he was too young and the next thing I knew I was handed his driver’s license and it turned out he’s over a year older than me. One day he assisted one of my patients who happened to be the dad of the creator of a popular San Francisco musical and he promised us tickets but 2 minutes after he forgot who I was. It was Nick’s cue to get tickets and ask me on a date

What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?

We eloped to Lake Tahoe after dating for 5 months . With just the two of us and me walking down the short aisle in the chapel to one of my favorite song “Evergreen “. We had dinner after at one of the hotel’s buffet and we walked around sharing an ice cream cone as a married couple . He was 29, I was 27. Prior to us being together , we were both with other partners who were ready to get married but we just both could not commit to them.

What would you do with $20,000?

We never did have a honey moon . We could not afford it as I had to put him through school . It would have been Hawaii or Paris . Yes, we will use it for a honeymoon of our dreams:).
