We met on a Hinge date that instantly felt easy and natural—one of those nights where conversation just flowed and neither of us wanted it to end. From that day on, we quickly became inseparable. We love exploring new restaurants and bars together, trying anything from neighborhood favorites to places we stumble upon by accident. Travel has become one of our favorite parts of life—whether we’re relaxing on a beach vacation, chasing snow on a skiing trip, or discovering somewhere brand-new. Rich even took up skiing because it’s one of Erika’s favorite winter hobbies, and our adventures have only grown from there. One of our most memorable trips was Rich’s first time in Europe, when we traveled to Greece together. Through every season, we’ve become each other’s better half—supporting, encouraging, and celebrating one another through all of life’s challenges and moments, big and small. Rich proposed to Erika on the beach, in the most meaningful and heartfelt way. He surprised her with mementos from all of their first dates, saved carefully over time, and shared them with her before asking the easiest “yes” of her life. We can’t wait to celebrate the next chapter with the people we love most.
