Erica and Kyle met in Junior Lifeguards during the summer of 2007. In the Fall of 2008, they reconnected at the first Mira Costa football game their freshman year. Their friend groups merged, as most of their friends began dating. They spent the year tagging along to different events with the happy couples. Erica and Kyle ended up becoming inseparable and the best of friends. It only took a little convincing from Kyle for Erica to realize that they should be more than friends. Their parents dropped them off for their first date on June 21, 2009 at California Pizza Kitchen. Kyle asked Erica to be his girlfriend over a romantic bowl of mac and cheese while coloring a kid's menu. Twelve years later, Kyle proposed to Erica on a sailboat in Cabo, where they spent the week celebrating with friends.
