Erickson and I first crossed paths at Stony Brook University, where we were both part of the EOP program. With so many shared classes, we quickly became familiar faces to each other. In our philosophy class, he would sit right behind me and play with my hair -a small gesture that sparked something special between us. After months of talking and spending time together, we made it official on May 21, 2014. Since then, we've grown immensely, both as individuals and as a couple. We've made countless beautiful memories together and have faced our share of challenges, each one bringing us closer and teaching us something new. Now, we're incredibly excited to get married, to become one, and to start this next chapter of our lives, one where we can build a family of our own and continue creating a life filled with love and laughter.
