In a sweet and sentimental gesture of love, Rashad fashioned their perfect proposal after the way in which Nicole’s father proposed to her mother. Under the guise of looking at engagement rings for the first time, to gauge what style Nicole would be interested in, she was pleasantly surprised to find her parents at the jewelry store awaiting their arrival. With the blessing of her parents, Rashad expressed his love for Nicole and asked her to spend the rest of their lives together as husband and wife.
Nicole and Rashad jumped-the-broom in a beautiful museum ceremony in Boston, Massachusetts. Nicole was glowing as she walked down the aisle in a statement-making Ines Di Santo gown with an extended train and veil, completed with a royal tiara. Surrounded by loving family and friends, highschool sweetheart dreams came true as Nicole and Rashad were pronounced husband and wife – taking the first steps of their journey towards together forever.
