Chris and Erika met at work in April 2016. Over the years working together, they both became really good friends. Erika did not know that Chris found reasons to stay at work late just to talk with her. And Chris did not know that Erika turned down another job offer to keep working alongside him. When they eventually realized that they both felt the same way about each other, their relationship quickly took off. They adopted two kittens four months after they started dating, and then decided to get a pair of Corgi puppies two months later. Chris finally popped the question on June 23, 2023 in the Boston Public Garden which brings us to today!
