Imagine this: a high school trip to Costa Rica, where fate played matchmaker beneath starry skies and sandy shores. Erik’s flowing locks sparked a quirky connection when he asked Jaz to braid his hair, a gesture that would ignite a bond as strong as the ocean tide. During nocturnal turtle watches, Erik held Jaz’s hand, guiding her through the dark while debating star patterns, their laughter like a symphony under the moon. Their Costa Rican journey ended with a comic twist: Jaz, in her charming clumsiness, found herself face-planting into Erik’s knee, earning a memorable bruise. Meanwhile, Erik, in his attempt to have a sweet moment with Jaz counting turtle eggs, somehow managed to get turtle juices in her eye. Despite the mishaps, or perhaps thanks to the mishaps, their love bloomed like the tropical flowers. Their shared passion for the outdoors, love for animals, and playful banter sealed their fate, with the turtles serving as their mischievous matchmakers. And so, their enchanting love story began – a whimsical tale of laughter and love, forever intertwined under the Costa Rican stars. Now, as we embark on this next chapter of life together, we couldn’t be more excited to celebrate our love with the people who mean the most to us. With So Much Love, Erik & Jazz
