She said yes

Our wonderful friends, Leah and Michele, had been scheming for months to introduce us. We finally met at their house during a holiday/birthday party, but Erin was a bit too nervous to speak any words to Katie.

Our first date was at the *newly* remodeled The Place in the heart of the Elmwood Village. And after 6 bottles of Malbec, a plate of fries, our first argument, and a ton of laughter... we fell in love.

After tricking Erin into taking a half day off of work to help her set up for a board meeting...Katie proposed to Erin sitting in the same seats as their first date (The Place) over a plate of fries, a bottle of Malbec, and 6 pages of notes.

76,723,200 seconds or 1,278,720 minutes or 21,312 hours or 888 days... since our first date.
