““My dream wouldn’t be complete without you in it.” ”

Introducing Eric and Nicole, our lovely future bride and groom. They met in college while working at Party City together. Just a normal 9-5, that turned it into a happily ever after! It’s always so interesting hearing people’s stories and the perceived random paths that led them to a place in their life. Some might call it coincidence, fate, or randomness. But we’re firm believers that everything happens for a reason! 😉 We might not know how important a time in life is, but as the bigger picture begins to unfold, only then can we connect the dots.

Nicole said when they first met, neither had expected to start dating, let alone be engaged by this point, but they wouldn’t have it any other way! ❤️ It’s stories like these that are so simple yet so meaningful. Every moment in life is valuable—whether that’s meeting someone, understanding something, or learning something—they’re all important and truly special in the macro view. Eric and Nicole’s story is the perfect reflection of this.

Speaking of perfect, isn’t Hunter their pup adorable!? You’ll love him even more after you hear their proposal story! (The ⭐️ of their show!) Eric and Nicole decided to throw a house warming party shortly after getting settled into their new home! It was a wonderful setting—a living room full of friends on New Year’s Eve! 🥂🎉 Leading up to this big day, Eric found the perfect pup for their family and had a custom collar made to read, “Nicole will you marry me?” When the time came, a friend brought the puppy into the room and told Nicole to read the collar! AAWWW! This gave Eric enough time to get the ring box, which was slightly stuck, out of his back pocket! But it all came together for their own perfect moment… and as you can see—SHE SAID YES! 💍🐶

They’re tying the knot on forever at an adorable little place called The Oakland House! It’s a historic museum tucked away in Affton, Missouri. We can’t even begin to tell you how super excited we are to capture their wedding day… but for starters, they are huge Disney fans, just like us! Their day has breadcrumbs of Disney sprinkled throughout, and they’re even hand making each unique centerpiece! We can’t wait to see the creativity these two have up their sleeves!!

Nicole and Eric, we can’t wait for your big day—but most of all we can’t wait to watch your future unfold together! One day you’ll both reflect on the fairytale story you’ve created and laugh, cry, and love. Congratulations again on your engagement!

Much Love,

Tiffany Amber & Christopher Mark Schaefer
