How We Met

Love Blooms During a Pandemic

Becky: I had given up on finding love again and was about to move back to Utah to live near/with my family again, but something in me said to give love just one more chance -- so I did. I knew I wanted to meet Eric in person when I realized he was the last person I was texting every night and the first person I would text in the morning. We decided on a sunny Monday afternoon in a park in town for our very first meeting and we have never been seperated since. I'm very excited I get to marry my best friend. Eric: After relocating to Washington in 2019 to live with relatives, I was able to move in with a friend in Fairhaven to be closer to work. I'd had a dating profile, but not much success, until Becky sent me a message. We hit it off almost immediately, texting each other and playing games online together for hours at a time. We met in person a few days later and have been inseparable ever since.
