A mutual friend of ours played her hand at matchmaking as she thought we would be perfect for each other. She invited us both over for a patio get-together giving off a Midsummer Night’s Dream vibe, complete with a fire pit and twinkling lights. There was an immediate connection and we talked late into the night, planning our first date for the very next day, a motorcycle ride up to Idaho City. Erica’s first time on a bike turned into many more dates on Quintin’s Harley adventuring together.

After asking Erica’s parents and her daughter for their blessing, Quintin proposed on Beverly Beach during the couple’s romantic getaway along the Oregon Coast.
