We met as those in their late twenties living in San Francisco do: online. After talking we were surprised to find out that we had both lived in the same neighborhood forever and met up for drinks at a nearby Sports Bar. The rest, as they say, is history.

What started as a normal Saturday turned out to be the best Saturday. Chad had to "go to work" for a little bit (really he was picking up the ring) and Erika went to get her nails done (serendipitous timing). After getting back home, Chad said he had made something he wanted to show Erika. He gave her a beautiful handmade wood box which turned out to be a ring box. After much excitement, Erika made Chad get down on one knee to "do it for real". He asked her to marry him and she said "of course!"
