After quoting lyrics from Elvis Presley’s “Fools Rush In,” Nikki explained that the song was their “love story.”

“I will never forget where I was when I asked Jesus about Artem. A conversation with Him and God. How my feelings felt too fast. It all felt too fast. And then this song came on,” she wrote. “And that’s when I knew I was falling in love with him and it was all meant to be.”

Artem also celebrated their anniversary by sharing photos from their wedding on his own Instagram page. “Happy anniversary my love, I can’t see my life without you,” he wrote. “You are my everything.”
