Erika Good

and

Colleen Peregrin

How We Met

You're not supposed to hit on your boss, but sometimes it works out.

On Colleen's very first day working at the Dublin Pub, she walked inside and there was a gorgeous blonde with a ponytail tucked into a ballcap writing the draft list on the board. It was love at first sight...for Colleen. She went home and told all her friends about Erika, the hot bartender at work. The only problem was Erika was Colleen's boss. So for three months straight, Colleen hit on Erika unabashedly. Finally, Erika caved and asked Colleen out. They went bowling at Poelking Lanes and Erika absolutely kicked Colleen's butt. In typical lesbian fashion, the date went on for 9 hours and at the end, Colleen told her roommate "I'm gonna marry that girl."

The Proposal

For Colleen, it was love at first sight, but for Erika, she knew she was going to marry this woman after the first date. It took everything in her not to pop the question so much sooner, but she didn't want to fall into lesbian stereotypes. Thanks to Colleen's best friend Elaine, Erika knew she had picked out the perfect ring. Now she just had to plan the perfect day. Because Colleen's such a homebody, Erika knew she had to wait for the perfect moment. So when Colleen said she was going into the office one day, it was time to jump into action. Erika's mom was able to bring Erika's vision to life and made a beautiful backdrop. Zach and Dom helped set everything up, tearing off individual petals to throw around. Sarah Babcock hid with Erika in the yard and waited, having silent dance parties to shake out the nerves. When Erika brought Colleen back home, she showed her the outfit she had laid out and told her to get ready. She led Colleen out to the backyard, transformed into a romantic floral dream, and surrounded by photos of their favorite memories she got on one knee. Sarah captured the whole thing. Erika says it was the best day of her life because she said yes.
