At a time where neither of them were open to dating, Mike and Dee thought it would be a good idea for them to meet. Tacos & Tequilas set the tone for a lifelong indulgence in Mexican cuisine. They immediately built a friendship and talked to each other nonstop. Eric noticed that Tierra had a love for God that was always coming up in conversation, and what he thought would keep them apart would actually be the cornerstone of their love. After dating briefly, they (SHE) decided to be friends. As he accepted Christ and they both started chasing after Him together the groundwork was laid for their relationship to officially begin. April 19, 2019 Eric asked Tierra to be his girlfriend and they haven't looked back. Fast-forward to May 8, 2020 and Eric made sure to officially court Tierra before he proposed on Pentecostal Sunday, May 31, 2020. The day was setup as a photo shoot for Eric and Tierra, but Tierra became suspicious so that quickly turned into a Friends' Day where they went back to Tacos & Tequilas to eat and catch up before the couples' photo shoot. As Eric got down on one knee Tierra's breath was taken away while in the back of her head she thought to herself "How can he propose without my mom being here?!" Luckily, that didn't stop her from saying yes, which was a delight to friends and family that were secretly standing behind her waiting to celebrate!
