Meet Nicole and Ray Nevins, a Hoboken couple who just got married locally in August. The two met while working at the fashion brand Theory, and have lived in the Mile Square together for two and a half years. Nicole and Ray had Hoboken tied into every aspect of their relationship: from getting engaged at Pier 14 and then getting married at Koko Klub; to having their rehearsal dinner at Grand Vin; and getting their wedding cake from Hudson Cakery. We had the chance to talk with the pair and their life in Hoboken. Read on to learn more about this couple and for more details about their local wedding.

We both decided to take some selfies on Pier 14, and Ray proposed mid-selfie! Ray’s cousin-in-law was there and we took some engagement photos on Pier 14, then walked up to Pilsner Haus Biergarten to celebrate with all of our friends.

RN + NN: 65

HG: What was your favorite moment of the day?

RN + NN: Our first looks were both of our favorites.

HG: Did you work with a wedding planner? If so, who + how was that experience?

RN + NN: We chose everything local — a true Hoboken wedding:

HG: Any advice for couples planning a wedding locally or in general?

RN + NN: Get a wedding coordinator — and use Santina! Nobody wants to send emails a week before the biggest day of their life. She was a godsend.
