We met at work, Universal Studios Orlando. He worked down at the docks and I had to walk through the docks and past his office every day. Finally, after several tries to talk to me I finally paid attention. Eric didn't waste any time asking for Erin's number. We texted back and forth for weeks before we finally had our first date. Our first date was to Halloween Horror Nights, both were excited but nervous! The night couldn't have turned out better and they haven't looked back!
Eric and Erin went on vacation, up to Atlanta to spend time with Eric's family for Easter weekend. Erin was told that we would be attending a couple of parties while we were up there.... March 31st arrives, and Erin thinks she is spending the day with Eric's step mom and sister, having a mani/pedi day and shopping for a dress to wear to the party that night. Having fun shopping at Lennox mall with Libby, not really worrying too much about finding a dress. Erin figured she would just throw anything on. Told we are running late, Erin grabs a shirt off a rack at Forever 21 and decides it will work. We rush to the car only to find it has been booted! Some money and a few minutes later we are slowly crawling our way through Atlanta traffic to make it back to the house. Finally! back at the house, Erin just wants a few minutes to relax before dinner but Eric rushes her to get ready. Coming down from getting ready Erin is surprised to see some friends from Florida! In total shock she completely buys the story they sell. Dinner is about to be served, Rick gives a speech about family and good food then turns to Eric, letting him take the floor. Eric makes a lovely speech that now Erin cannot remember and gets down on one knee. Everyone is clapping and cheering and Erin is just laughing trying to get the words out to say YES!
