It was Cinco de Mayo and our first date had two of our favorite things. Brunch and Barney! Bart asked Erica out and she told him that she and Barney could be there at noon so naturally Bart had to plan a date centered around the pup. A patio brunch was in order to start which then translated into a trip to Mutts Cantina (a bar/dog park) where we could have margaritas to celebrate the holiday and also let Barney run around with all the other dogs. We did our part but Barney just stuck close by his mom's side the whole time... Going in, Erica wasn't sure if the date would go much further than that but the connection was undeniable so we decided to keep hanging out all the way to dinner. We went to another patio restaurant in Deep Ellum to get queso since you can't have a Cinco de Mayo without queso and so our first date turned into a first "dayte" and that's where it all started! From there we connected on our love for food, our love for Jesus and then we fell in love with each other. That all led to our engagement at White Rock Lake on May 23, 2020. We are so excited to tie the knot for good and continue our life journey together until death do us part!
