It is said that Nick would often think he would never have a wife until he set his eyes on Kanae Miyahara. Nick and Kanae met at one of Nick's talks in Texas. Kanae attended with her older sister, Yoshie, and Nick couldn't take his eyes away the moment he saw Kanae. It was love at first sight.
"My wife Kanae and I fell in love at the top of a Bell Tower in McKinney, Texas, at the "Adriatica." It was at a night where I only spoke to 16 people, and we watched the Butterfly Circus. I shared about the ministry's goals and heart in reaching the world. Fireworks were in our minds and hearts when our eyes connected that night."
After their initial meet-and-greet encounter, Nick asked Kanae and her sister to stay nearby so he could get to know Kanae. "The more I chatted with Kanae, the more I wanted to whisk her away and find out all there is to know about this enchanting girl who seemed so self-assured and kindhearted," said Nick.
