Nicolette said, "We didn't know if the first date was going to be the first date, but it ended up being the first date. None of us were stating that it was a date, but then it for sure was a date when he kissed me at the end of the night, and the rest, as they say, is history!"

Having to watch Nicolette give birth to these children... Simply put, some of the most courageous deeds I've ever seen in person, and I was just a foot away," the father of two wrote. "I have no words to express how much I adore you, sweetheart. Our tiny family is so happy that we are bursting at the seams! And gratitude. More life!"
