Our Story
We met at the iconic Frankies Pizza By The Slice NSW (RIP), where Andrew was playing drums and Nikola was singing Karaoke back in 2015. We have lived in both Sydney and Perth together with our fur baby Lunar who we got together in 2016. We bought our first house together in 2022 and on our first night in our new home, Andrew proposed! Here we are a year later planning our Fiji Wedding! You have all been an important part of our stories before and after we met and we hope we can share this special occasion with you!
