Nicki and Alfonso first met at San Diego State University. They lived on the same floor freshman year and quickly became good friends. Their friendship grew closer over the years and they started dating in early 2017.

Through the years Alfonso and Nicki have traveled all over the world together. They have visited Italy, Spain, London, and India to name a few. However even with their shared loved of travel they both agree the time spent at home in San Diego with their puppy, Luna is when they are the happiest.

Alfonso proposed to Nicki in April of 2024. She was under the impression that they were going on a casual hike with Luna when Alfonso got down on one knee at their favorite lookout spot and popped the question! He then continued the surprise and took her to do one of her favorite activities - wine tasting! Needless to say, the day was perfect.

They are ecstatic to celebrate their love with everyone in Cancun, Mexico. October 10th, 2025 can't come soon enough!
