It began in 1985, when Eric took his DeLorean back to the... Wait. These crazy kids met in 2018, a product of love in the digital age. Both were short on patience for the modern way of meeting someone, but lucky enough to find each other on Bumble. Marissa was intrigued by Eric's Marty McFly costume, and Eric reports that Marissa's profile was his bat signal. Eric left for Europe, Marissa to Canada... Ok, it was a brief but very busy few weeks before they actually met. They met at the Brickhouse Brewery in Patchogue where Matt Mowdy happily chaperoned, enjoying his front row seat to an awkward but sweet interaction. The two chatted about music, quoted movies to each other, discussed their love for their families, and lamented about not being able to go back in time to relive their respective childhoods. Marissa knew Eric was the one when he quoted John Cusack's eminent film, Better Off Dead. Eric proposed in November, 2019 and they began planning their Nostalgia Extravaganza. Something not entirely life-shattering happened in 2020, and here they are now: married, and ready to celebrate with all of you!
