Penguins have become a meaningful motif in our relationship—not just because they're adorable, quirky, and surprisingly clever, but because they represent something deeper to us. Penguins mate for life, which beautifully mirrors our commitment to one another. During a particularly difficult time, Nicole was curled up in bed wearing a hooded Snuggie when Tim lovingly joked that she looked like a penguin. That silly, lighthearted moment brought us laughter when we needed it most. Since then, penguins have become our thing—a symbol of love, resilience, and joy shared through both the hard and happy times.
