Nicole, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Vaupen of Pacific Palisades, graduated from Loyola Marymount University with a B.A. degee in liberal studies in 1995. She spent the past 10 years teaching at Palisades Elementary Charter School. Recently she was promoted to assistant principal, splitting her time between Topanga Elementary and Kenter Elementary (both part of the Palisades Charter complex). Brian grew up in Brentwood and attended California School of Culinary Arts after graduating from Palisades High School. For the past four years he has been working as a sous chef at Napa Valley Grille in Westwood. The couple met 10 years ago at the Westside YMCA, where they both continue volunteer work with a residence camp summer program. They just purchased their first home in Mar Vista where they plan to live happily ever after with their dog Kona.
