Nichole & Eric in Magnolia, TX

Nichole Lee has a hard time saying yes. Nichole first met Eric when she started working at an extreme sports complex in New Braunfels. Eric, now a district manager there, asked her out, but Nichole didn’t want to get involved with a coworker and said no. Fortunately for them both, he’s persistent, and Nichole, a photographer, finally agreed to go out with him. The Bride Nichole Lee, 22 The Groom Eric Daniel, 27 The Date May 7 Months later, Nichole and Eric were visiting Nichole’s parents’ lakeside home when Eric kept suggesting they take a walk out onto the dock. Nichole was resistant because of the weather. Finally, Eric simply dropped to one knee right in the middle of her parents’ kitchen. “I was so surprised!” Nichole says. “I should have taken the walk to the dock, but the proposal was still wonderful.”
