We met on the way to our mutual friends, Chris' and Kasia's, engagement party in January 2016.  It was a Friday night.  Sophie and her friend were running super late per usual (a long week of law school was a good excuse).  Nick was also running late because he was deep into Mario Kart with some Temple University friends. Nonetheless, they made it in time to celebrate their newly engaged friends. When the girls entered into the elevator at the Sterling... at the very last second before the door closed...  Nick's hand swooped in, "I'm going there too."  

We introduced ourselves after a moment of awkward silence in the elevator. Sophie lied about liking the MLS in an attempt to impress this cute, random guy (Chris and Nick met as season ticket holders to the Philadelphia Union). 

While at the party, Sophie coyly whispered to Kasia (a law school classmate), "Sooo, who's that cute guy?"

"Ahh, I don't know much about him, he's Chris' friend," Kasia replied. "I think he is dating someone." Heart sink. 

Apparently, Nick was asking Chris about Sophie too.
"What? I don't have a girlfriend!" replied Nick after Chris told him, "I thought you had a girlfriend." 

After making some awkward eye contact throughout the night, Sophie finally built up the courage to pull up a barstool ordering Nick to sit and chat while demanding a Jack and Coke from the bartender. "You're from Scranton? Like the Office Scranton? Cool!" (So basic like every other person that hears that, heyna?)
 
The fun night continued when Nick built up the courage to model Sophie's fur vest. Photograph evidence to the left.

Two days later, Sophie received a text from Nick asking, "Want to go out with a fur vest model?" 

Yes, fast forward, she can't wait to marry him for his fur vest modeling royalties.
