Keani and Nicholas noticed each other at a party but they didn’t say hello. Nicholas told a friend, “That girl in the blue shirt is absolutely beautiful, I need to know her.” A year later, a mutual friend introduced them when Keani was 18 and Nicholas was 24. They talked about soccer (their favorite sport), travels, college, and the fact they went to the same high school but never met before. They both loved the same kind of music: Red Hot Chili Peppers, Incubus, and Oasis. Keani liked Nicholas’ sense of adventure, his beard, and the fact that she felt comfortable around him as if they were old friends. Nicholas liked Keani’s spontaneity and sense of adventure, which makes sense since she’s a travel blogger. Their summer was full of fun moments: jumping off a local pier in their Florida hometown and drinking wine on the kitchen floor. Keani says, “One night he took me up to his rooftop, laid out a blanket, and we watched the stars for hours. The world was quiet, the stars were bright. It was the moment I knew I was falling in love with him.”
