About Us
From matching zebra prints at high school dances to matching rings on the fingers closest to our hearts. Nick and Shay have the story of star-crossed lovers.
Their relationship may have started slowly, but from the moment they met in high school, Nick knew that Shay was the woman he wanted to love forever. He did his best to make her his high school sweetheart but Shay’s parents were strict about dating and “they didn’t play that!” regarding a relationship between the two. While Nick may have thought he was being turned down. What he didn’t know, was that Shay felt the same way he did. When she saw him she felt the sparks people only talk about in movies. The moment they showed up separately at homecoming wearing matching zebra print was the moment she knew Nick was the one. Even though the two never dated they still call each other high school sweethearts.
Like stars in the night, Shay and Nick kept passing through each other’s lives, always present but never quite connecting. Eventually, fate intervened… conflicted because of how long they had known each other but were never quite able to make it to a relationship, Shay ultimately decided to give Nick the chance he had always been asking for. It all came about because Shay was having lunch with her Cousin Avi and said “You know 9/10 your husband is someone you already met. Does anybody come to mind?” Shay lit up and told her all about Nick! At that point, Shay had no choice but to reach out! The rest is history. Fast forward to the present day, the two share a beautiful baby girl; Riley Renee Anderson. They will soon go from matching zebra print outfits to matching last names and are so excited to explore this beautiful life as a united family!
