Real Weddings Sunday: Presenting Nancy and Nick Sears
The Couple: Nancy and Nick Sears
Wedding Date: May 7, 2011
Photography by Jocelyn McGregor Photography
Tell us a little about you and your beloved: Nick’s point of view: Well, it just so happens that both of my brother’s mothers-in-law work with Nancy. Nancy’s work decided to have a Christmas party at the home of one of mothers-in-law. Seeing as they were doing that, my brother and his father-in-law asked if I wanted to go bowling with them. I arrived at the house and before I left I saw a great set of legs enter the house. When we returned from bowling, I was able to catch a few glimpses of Nancy and ended up asking my sister-in-law to see if they could get her number for me, and that’s how it all began.
Nancy’s point of view: I went to my co-worker’s house for a Christmas party. It was really entertaining until I saw my, now, brother-in-law, staring at me from across the room. It was a little uncomfortable for the fact that I thought he was my co-worker’s daughter’s husband, and also thought Nick was married as well. After he got a hold of my phone number and we started talking, I couldn’t tell which guy it was from the party. But when I saw him waiting outside of my work for our first date with a bouquet of flowers, I was glad — he was lean, tall, single and handsome. Then I said to myself, I am not gonna let him go! And the rest is history.
What was the most amazing part of your day? When we were holding hands at the altar!
