They met on Bumble, a site whose differentiating feature is that the woman has to message first. Tori swept Eric off his feet with just her opening line. They had their first date at a dive bar in Harvard Square (with only a few awkward silences) and the rest is history.
Eric played it cool the entire night of ushering in the New Year. While playing a heated game of Cranium with their family before midnight, Eric snuck away to grab the ring. During their turn, no less. He got on one knee as the ball dropped. It was truly the best way to ring in 2022. Plus, it guaranteed Eric would never forget the date it happened.
