Erica and Eddie met while both going to college at ASU. Their first adventure was jet-skiing on Lake Suguaro with friends, which was perfect because both of them grew up spending time on the water. Throughout their time together, four animals have been adopted and these animals are greatly spoiled. They moved into a house together with their animals after a couple of years. They love to take adventures with each other and their two dogs. Erica and Eddie have been together for nine years now but education has taken priority for the two of them. Eddie getting his Master's and PhD and Erica has recently been travel nursing. She is currently in Las Vegas, NV.
One day, Eddie suggested a lake day with just himself, Erica, and Shannon. After applying copious amounts of sunscreen and jet skiing aorund the lake they stopped for sandwiches and beer on the beach. Shannon had brought her camera saying she wanted to take photos to add to her portfolio. After sandwiches had been eaten and beers had been drunk, Eddie and Erica waded into the water to pose in front of the mountains. Erica posed for a photo and when she turned back around, Eddie was on one knee asking her to marry him. After several rounds of "Are you serious?" and "Is this real" and "No way," Erica finally said yes with tears in her eyes.
