Erik and Abbey met in college and hit it off right away. There wasn’t a big, cinematic moment—just an easy connection that made being together feel natural from the start. What began as casual hangouts quickly grew into something steady and real. They moved in together and settled into a routine, learning how to share space and make decisions as a team. A little later, they got Hank—a lovable, sleepy, and quirky dog who’s been a loyal part of their lives ever since. Eventually, they bought a house in the small town of Mondovi, drawn to the slower pace and sense of community. With freshly painted walls, lots of renovations, and Hank always underfoot, the house quickly felt like home. Sometime later, while flying over the mountains and glaciers of Alaska in a sea plane, Erik asked Abbey to marry him. It was simple, meaningful, and perfectly them. Now, after years of laughter, growth, and everyday moments, they’re ready for what’s next—and can’t wait to celebrate with all of you.
