We first met in the college dorms, with our friend groups overlapping leading us to see each other at random events over the years. Erik likes to say he always had an eye on Emily since the day we met, and she likes to say she never noticed... It wasn't until the spring of our junior year in college when our story truly began... Emily was on a spring break trip on the west coast of France and Erik was studying abroad in the south of France. Our friends planned the perfect day in Paris for us all to meet up. We found ourselves drawn to each other throughout our exploration of the beautiful city, and it was the best day: we enjoyed espresso & croissants for breakfast, admired the Sacré-Coeur Basilica, Notre Dame, Louvre Museum and other gorgeous sites, made pit stops for wine and macarons, wandered through Les Champs-Élysées, and finished the evening at a concert for a Parisian band. Despite the day being filled with pure awe for this city full of beauty and culture, the most memorable piece for both of us was each other. Our friends like to tease us about how cheesy our story began. Like, seriously? We fell in love in the city of love? And our answer is always yes. Yes, we did. Paris will forever hold a special place in our hearts, and the rest is history.
