Erika and Brendan met the night of Brendan’s 30th Birthday. What was supposed to be a casual night with friends turned into a night they would never forget. Brendan didn't remember how he got home and Erika couldn't forget how she had just met his parents before their first date!
In Septemeber, Brendan and Erika went to Newport Rhode Island for one last summer getaway. On their first night, they went to have drinks at Castle Hill Hotel along the ocean. After taking in the view, Brendan convinced Erika to take a walk to check out a lighthouse. They made their way through the woods to the beautiful Castle Hill Light House and had it all to themselves. That's when Brendan dropped to one knee to ask Erika if she would marry him. And the rest is history!
