Today Throws a Wedding...

[vevster]

I tend to follow this series with varying degrees of attention.... I just watched the recap video of the couples online.

I didn't like the black couple at all. They were cute enough but I knew by their tape that they would not be winning.

They were book great looking people but their story wasn't very romantic. She was basically living with him for several years and she said, "The today show is on its way, are you ready to be my husband?" It was then that I looked at her hands and she had no engagement ring....

I'm not saying that they aren't going to last, or anything like that.. but that wasn't the kind of romantic story that I like to see in a competition like that...

Here is the link to the video if anyone else want to weigh in. Click on 'getting to know the wedding couples'

ETA: I rewatched and she does appear to have an engage ring... sorry! The rest of the commentary still stands...

Are you talking about Tommy and Nicole? I thought their story was sweet.


Their story: It was love at first sight for Tommy, but it took Nicole a while to realize her prince had come. Tommy and Nicole met in college, but they never dated. Nicole’s friend had her eyes on Tommy, but unbeknownst to Nicole, it was Nicole Tommy had his eyes on.

Tommy tried numerous ways to let Nicole know he was interested but she enjoyed his friendship while she was busy with other boyfriends. Years later, after college, Tommy heard from his mom that Nicole had broken up with her latest beau. She told Tommy where Nicole was working and Tommy went in for the kill. He took that opportunity to send Nicole some flowers with a simple message saying he hoped she was doing well. That started Nicole thinking about Tommy in a whole new way and their phone relationship began to blossom. Nicole was living in Florida and Tommy in Michigan so they decided to meet in New York City over the July 4th weekend.


There was no doubt in either’s mind where they needed to be and that was together. Nicole packed up her things and moved to Detroit to take things with Tommy to the next level. After a few moths of settling into her new life with Tommy, her mom received some upsetting medical news and Nicole spent months traveling back and forth to Florida to be by her mom’s side. Tommy accompanied her every single time and helped Nicole stay strong and positive. Her mother is healthy and to this day Nicole appreciates how loving Tommy was during that hard time.

Because of Nicole’s close relationship with her mom, Tommy knew he had to include her in the proposal. He waited for Nicole’s mom to visit on Mother’s Day and at a dinner where both her mom and Tommy’s were present the ring was brought out on Nicole’s appetizer plate. That is when Tommy popped the question.

Nicole knew saying yes to Tommy’s proposal was the only answer and she could not wait to spend the rest of her life with him.
