Meet Nycholle

Hey there, I'm Nycholle Woolfolk-Gater, born and raised in the heart of Virginia. My life took a beautiful turn when I married my incredible partner, Darrick Gater, who hails from St. Louis, Missouri. It all started at Langley Air Force Base in Hampton, Virginia, where our unique love story began.

 

Darrick has this funny story about how my bright orange shorts initially caught his eye, but what really drew us together was my unwavering care and compassion for my mother, who was battling Multiple Sclerosis (MS). He saw a deeper beauty in me, beyond the surface. In that moment, he knew I was someone who would care for him just as deeply.

 

Darrick is a gentle giant, a perfect blend of playfulness and seriousness. I fell head over heels for him because of the way he held me, making me feel safe and cherished. What truly sealed the deal for me, though, was when he encouraged me to be completely and unapologetically myself. His unwavering support made me believe I could conquer anything.

Meet Darrick

Hey, I'm Darrick Gater, originally from the vibrant city of St. Louis, Missouri. My journey led me to Langley Air Force Base in Hampton, Virginia, where I crossed paths with the love of my life, Nycholle.

 

Our love story began with a pair of eye-catching orange shorts, but it wasn't long before I realized that Nycholle's inner beauty far surpassed her striking appearance. She was a dedicated caregiver to her mother, who bravely fought Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Witnessing her boundless care and compassion was what truly captured my heart. I knew right then that she was the one who would care for me with that same depth of love.

 

People often describe me as a gentle giant, embodying both playfulness and a sense of seriousness. Nycholle fell in love with me because of the way I held her, making her feel safe and cherished. Our connection deepened when I encouraged her to be herself without reservation, supporting her in ways that empowered her to conquer life's challenges.
