Some love stories begin with fate, others with timing, and ours—with a little bit of both. Though we both went to high school in Randolph, NJ, we ran in different circles and never truly crossed paths. After graduation, Erica attended Bentley University and began her career in Boston. She later returned home, after 9 years, to take over her family’s financial planning practice. Dan stayed local, attending Fairleigh Dickinson University and building his career in financial planning while living in the Morristown area. Fast-forward to St. Patrick’s Day 2018 in Morristown, when fate decided to give us a nudge. We ran into each other at The Laundromat, a local bar, and quickly realized we both worked at Raymond James. We gave dating a shot, but the timing wasn’t right just yet. A few years later, life brought us back together—this time at a Raymond James conference in Nashville. This time, the timing was right, and we've been together ever since. In December, Dan proposed in Morristown, right on The Green—our home, and the place where our journey has come full circle. And now, we can’t wait to celebrate with all of you at The Grove on December 6, exactly one year later!
