Erica and Casey matched on Tinder in 2015 and went on their first date at the Cheesecake Factory. The first date jitters were in full effect so Erica and Casey were on their best behavior. After dinner, Casey (like the gentleman he is) walked Erica to her car. His car was on the other side of the parking lot so Erica (the sweetheart she is) offered to drive him to his car. That's when she discovered Casey drove a lifted truck and it made her like him even more HAHA! Turns out that 1 minute drive to the car ended up being over an hour of talking, laughing and being their true selves! Safe to say the first date jitters were gone and the 2nd date was bound to happen :) Erica and Casey have a shared love for basketball. So Casey took her to a Mavs game for the next date. At the time, Erica was a Cleveland Cavs fan, but sure enough, Casey was determined to convert her to the right team - GO MAVS, to which she is today! They continued to date, but ended up parting ways after 8 months. Fast forward to 5 years later, sure enough God and fate work in mysterious ways because both Erica and Casey rekindled their romance after both going through breakups. Casey DM'ed Erica on Instagram hoping to reconnect. Casual conversation continued and Casey asked her out to dinner more than a couple of times and in true Erica fashion she played hard to get HAHA. One night, Erica was out with co-workers having beverages and fun and texted Casey to come to Marty B's, however she told him it was Marty A's. Determined enough, Casey found Marty B's and was there within record time. They ended up closing down Marty B's that night and talking in the parking lot for 4 hours! The rest is history.. full of love, adventure, and the joy of growing together as one big happy blended family!
