Nicole & Dave
RHODE TRIPPER PHOTOGRAPHY
Nicole and Dave met while working on theater productions at Bishop Hendricken High School in Warwick in 2007 . After graduating three years later , the two went their separate ways before finding one another again in 2018 at Nicole ’ s job — the front desk of Disney ’ s Polynesian Village Resort in Orlando , Florida . Nicole and Dave exchanged laughs and phone numbers to start a long-distance relationship between Rhode Island and Florida . The first date involved a Cliff Walk hike , followed by nachos at Brick Alley Pub in Newport . While sitting on the cliffs , a stranger approached them and offered to take a photo of them , memorializing the first of many memories together . When Dave was ready to pop the question in 2023 , he recreated that moment . Up on their favorite spot on the Cliff Walk , his longtime friend Evan and Evan ’ s wife Meaghan ( the duo that is Rhode Tripper Photography ) assisted in capturing their engagement incognito . Of course , the pair later celebrated over nachos at Brick Alley Pub . The wedding will be at Paradise Cove in Orlando , Florida , on May 22 , 2025 .
