Allie: Since I moved to Los Angeles not knowing a soul, let me just say that my Tinder game was SUPER strong. My roommate at the time mentioned I needed to meet this guy named Erik because he knew everyone in Manhattan Beach, especially within the 5 block radius we both lived in. A couple weeks go by and I'm hanging out with this awesome guy group (Tyler, Riley and Jeff), I even party at Erik's house while he was traveling, not knowing that was THE Erik. I'm on Tinder one day and come across a guy named Erik in a picture with my roommate. THAT'S HIM! Swipe right. We start chatting and then finally meet in person a month later (in rare form) at a local bar, OBs. From then on, Erik chased me for a solid 6-7 months and it wasn't until Labor Day weekend at a music festival I gave in. Hands down it was the best decision of my life! I can't imagine life without him and wish I didn't wait so long to figure it out. Erik: The first time I ever saw Allie was on good old Tinder. Our friend Riley was on my Tinder and said, “I know this girl, she’s rad.” so he swiped for me and we matched! Right away I was enamored by her pearly white teeth and her larger than life smile. We didn’t meet in person for maybe a month later and that’s when the pursuit began. She was reluctant to “lock it up” at first since she had just moved to California and didn’t want to jump right into a relationship. So I was patient and we hung out as friends for a while, then she finally gave in about 6 months later. 5 years ago. Crazy!!! I don’t think either of us knew right when we met, that “yep, this is the one I’m going to marry”, but our friendship grew into love and she’s been the best thing that happened to me. We’re at great time in life and I can’t wait to see what the future holds for us.
