It all started with that app on Facebook for singles—yes, that's right! We met on Facebook Dating. Our conversation kicked off right away, and Eric, being the eager guy that he is, suggested we take things offline and text instead. During our chat, he asked me out for that very night. However, it was already late, and I was settled in for the evening, we decided to meet up the following night. Our first date was at Pints and Quarts in Lacey, WA. As I watched him walk in, I thought he looked adorable! The chemistry between us was apparent from the start. While sipping on Mac and Jack's and Diet Pepsi, we chatted for hours, and he asked me out again later that week. True to his nature, he couldn't wait until the weekend to see me, so he suggested we meet for a drink mid-week. I agreed, and we ended up at the Brick on Trosper, enjoying more great conversation. It was during this date that we shared our first kiss. A couple of days later, we went on our third date, and that's where our story really began. Before long, we decided to officially become a couple. We dated for just over a year, sharing adventures and wonderful moments together, realizing that we were meant for each other. In June 2024, on the Big Island of Hawaii, he asked me to be his wife, and I couldn't have been more excited—I said yes! We were at Jackie Ray's restaurant in Hilo, enjoying a delicious dinner with our good friends Cheri and Rich. I had no idea he was going to propose, so I was completely surprised. The entire restaurant cheered as he got down on one knee. Our story continues every day with life, adventures, and love. We feel so blessed to have found something so perfect and beautiful. We are beyond happy and incredibly grateful to have each and every one of you share our special day with us.
