Nichole and Patrick Storey

Nichole (Seibel) Storey, 27, originally from Holcomb, Kansas, attended the respiratory therapy program at Seward County Community College and graduated with an associate’s degree in respiratory therapy in 2017. She moved to Kansas City and works as a registered respiratory therapist at the University of Kansas Hospital. 

Patrick Storey, 27, years old, born and raised in Louisburg, Kansas, finished high school and joined the United States Air Force in 2014. He spent four years active duty before transitioning to the National Guard in 2018, where he serves part time as a munitions system specialist. Patrick’s civilian job is at Hanger National Labs, a supplier of custom orthotics and prosthetics. 

“Our love story began online; we swiped right on each other!” Nichole smiles. “We chatted for a couple days before he asked me for a drink, and I almost didn’t go because I was so nervous. We talked for hours; conversation was effortless with Patrick and it was apparent pretty early on that he was the real deal.”

“Patrick’s mother called me saying  The English Barn was having a Dream Wedding Giveaway and I should enter,” Nichole recalls. “We weren’t engaged yet! I was nervous bringing up the topic of a wedding with a set date to a man who hadn’t proposed to me yet but to my surprise, he was all in and we wrote our story! Two weeks later, Jane Howe, the venue owner, reached out to Patrick; we were finalists but she noticed that we weren’t yet engaged and asked if he would like her help. So the two began an epic engagement plan. On June 29, 2021, Patrick invited me for a fancy dinner and photos; I suspected then! We were leaving our house and a limo pulled up for us. Shortly, Patrick blindfolded me; minutes later he led me into a room, still blindfolded, where we danced. At a certain point in the song Patrick got down on one knee and my Dad removed my blindfold. I saw my boyfriend finally proposing to me and a room full of friends and family cheering for us. I was so taken aback Patrick had to get my attention again and get the “Yes” we’d been waiting for.”

The blissful couple tied the knot April 30, 2022. Nichole’s Matron of Honor was Michelle Fessler; bridesmaids were Kylie Wedel, Charlee Hamamy, Miah McKinney and Allison Compton. Patrick’s Best Men were Kyle Edwards and Dylan York; groomsmen were John Hamamy, Bret Bullock and Zack Turner.

“Our wedding day was incredible, full of many sweet moments with family and friends,” Nichole smiles. “We knew it was a wedding for us but we wanted our friends and family to feel like we were celebrating them because they are the sole reason we are where we are in life. Our wedding was something we would have never been able to do on our own and our vendors made us feel so special throughout the planning process; we are thankful beyond words for it all.” 

Nichole and Patrick honeymooned in Montego Bay, Jamaica, spending a week relaxing.
