How We Met

Oliver and Nikolina met online and had their first date at Honky Tonks in Canberra's city centre. As soon as they sat down they talked for hours about travel, food, their interests, food, their doggos (Cleo and Oscar), and food.
Oliver will tell people that Nikolina stole one of his fish tacos (she did). However Nikolina likes to strongly point out that it isn't stealing if the food is placed in front of the intended person. Despite this, Oliver and Nikolina laughed and chatted the night away until the waitress pointed out that they had stayed an hour over closing and politely asked them to leave.

The Proposal

Oliver and Nikolina were in Maui, Hawaii when the magic moment happened. They had a romantic dinner at Merrimans; a restaurant known for their spectacular sunset views.
Towards the end of the meal, Oliver suggested that the two of them wander to a nearby point to make the most of the night. It was at this spot where Oliver expressed excitement for the two of them to travel together forever, do everything together forever, and where he asked Nikolina to marry him. And even though Nikolina had a feeling the proposal would happen on their first overseas vacation together, the proposal was just as surprising and surreal.
