Despite growing up on the same side of town, attending the same high school, and both being involved in performing arts, we managed to spend 3 overlapping years at Virgil I Grissom High School without knowing each other. Fast-forward to 2020, Erica was living the dream in NYC as a musical theater performer when COVID shut the industry down. Temporarily relocating back to Alabama during the pandemic, Erica met Dan one evening for some Mexican food and conversation, and the two hit it off. After a trip to NYC together in September of 2021, both could tell something special was blossoming. Dan fell in love with Erica's personality, career, and talent. Erica fell in love with Dan's kind nature, his supportiveness, and his tendency to "nerd out" to a wide array of topics. They are excited to finally profess their love in front of their friends and family!
