Erika's story: We met originally through mutual friends in 2019. At the time I had no interest in dating at all, but Ludwin had other plans. A year later in late 2020, he and my best friend started a running group where we were able to reconnect. He didn’t pursue a relationship with me right away, but took time to get to know me. We bonded over our love for coffee, fitness, food, some nerdy things, and our faith. Once we finally went out it was like two puzzle pieces coming together perfectly. I found that he had a gentle way of loving me and showing me he cared about every aspect of my life including my mental, physical, and spiritual Health. He cared for me in a way that was selfless and and always uplifted me. From there our relationship continued to grow leading to him proposing to me at Disney World. It was truly magical :) Now we get to plan our big day which will just be the beginning of the best adventure! Ludwin's Story: What I remember when I initially met Erika in 2019 after the MS-150, she caught my eye when my friend was facetiming with his wife and she was in the background of the call. I of course asked if she was single. She was, nothing ended up coming from that initial meetup, but I was glad I took the opportunity to talk to her at the CVS. When we did talk that night, she didn’t say too much but something about her still got my attention. From there I didn’t see her again until late 2020 when I started a running group. She would show up to run which gave me the opportunity to break out of my shell and talk to her. I decided to ask her out. At first, she told me maybe, but I didn’t give up. A few months later I tried again and she said yes!! Once we went out, I learned about her interests which were similar to mine: food, coffee, and being active. I decided I had to ask her to be my girlfriend. I enjoyed learning more about her once we started dating including that I really loved her company and spending time with her. I fell in love with her natural beauty, her love for the Lord, and being family oriented, just to name a few. I knew I wanted her to be my wife. So, I decided to propose at Disney World. For me, Disney truly is the happiest place in the World because she said yes! I look forward to growing old and spending the rest of my life with her.
