How we met

We connected online one Saturday when we both were supposed to be in Fort Lauderdale for Bachelor/Bachelorette parties. Such a funny coincidence, but I’m glad neither of us were able to go because who knows if we would have met if we had. After talking the next few days we agreed to meet for dinner that Tuesday at one of Eric's favorite restaurants, Buddakhan. The rest is history.

The proposal

12/24/20

On Christmas Eve, Eric played and sang the song "Hallelujah" for my grandmother, Linda, as a gift. I extorted Eric's talents and asked him to learn and play the song for her in front of everyone. Little did I know, Eric had something bigger planned. After he sang to my grandmother, Eric completely surprised me and got down on his knee and asked me to marry him! Later, I found out that he had this whole thing planned with my family for the proposal. But, it rained on Christmas Eve so our perfect moment was improvised 😊
