Nicole + Jonathan • CHICAGO, ILLINOIS
Zeta Tau Alpha Anniversary | 1 Year
Living in Greenville, South Carolina, Nicole joined her friends at the Liberty Tap room to watch the first college football game of the season. Little did she know, that would be the day she would be introduced to Jonathan, who had also joined his friends to watch the kickoff. Surrounded by their mutual friends, it didn’t take long for the two to hit it off. Nicole attended Clemson University, where she initiated into the Kappa Zeta chapter of the noblest sorority – Zeta Tau Alpha.
For their first anniversary the newlyweds decided to celebrate by traveling together. First stop? Mexico in October for a short getaway before their upcoming big trip to the tropics. In April the couple has plans to visit Jamaica together, to relax and enjoy the sunshine & toast their first year of marriage.
On January 16th, 2017 Nicole & Jonathan officially celebrated their first anniversary as husband and wife. Jonathan surprised Nicole with breakfast in bed and a sweet card. Y’all, what an amazing husband, right?! They ended the evening by heading to Hall’s Chophouse where they enjoyed an incredible steak dinner complete with black truffle butter. Umm.. YUM!!!

Marriage Advice and Tips from these Pros!
“Don’t let expectations steal your joy. Just love each other and try to out do the other one on acts of kindness that may make things a little easier for your spouse without expecting anything in return. I have learned the biggest culprit of fights are unmet expectations whether those are physical affection, compliments, apologies, or chores around the house. Just do your part and love the other one even when you feel they don’t “do as much”. During your engagement don’t let your families cause fights between the two of you! At the end of the day your wedding day is for you and your spouse. I promise no one will notice if you don’t have the most expensive wedding dress, the highest quality linens, or the band gets your songs wrong…just have fun–you will be just as married at the end of it. ” – Nicole & Jonathan
