Their first conversation was focused on David Bowie. Michael had a tough time narrowing down his favorite song when \u00a0first asked. Three years later on Nicole’s birthday, Michael reveals that\u00a0he has figured it out.\u00a0He begins reciting the lyrics, “I, I will be king.” Immediately, Nicole recognized this line from the song “Heroes” as Michael walked over to her side of the table while singing the lyrics\u00a0“And you, you will be queen.” Michael gets on one knee and opens a box to reveal a stunning oval diamond. “Of course,” she exclaims as everyone in the restaurant cheered. Needless to say, it was not how she expected her birthday dinner to unfold.<\/p>\n

From there, there was no doubt that the wedding would be held at The Drake Hotel, where her mother and father were married 32 years ago. “Since I was a little girl, I’ve always dreamed of walking down the same aisle.” And to no surprise, their first dance was choreographed to none other than David Bowie’s “Heroes.”<\/p>\n

Here are a few of our favorite photos from their wedding that will be featured in Inside Weddings Magazine.<\/p>\n
