Tim and Erin met at work, of all places. They first hung out at a work site in Fargo, North Dakota. Erin was very nervous as she was performing a new role that day and Tim helped her through her nerves. Tim would tell Erin later that he looked at her as they hung out with work friends that evening and thought "I'm going to marry this woman". From there, their friendship grew. In June of 2020, they were stationed together in Utah for a month. Between office hours, they would venture with work friends to Bryce Canyon, Zion National Park, and Shoshone Falls Park. These adventures ended up making them realize how much they adored spending time with one another. Although neither of them knew at the time, they went on their first date in August, 2020 at the Westminster Brew Yard. They have been inseparable ever since

Tim and Erin had been talking about going on vacation for a while. Since they began dating during COVID, they were antsy to start seeing the world. They decided to go to Erin's favorite place, London. While we were there, they went to see Erin's favorite musical, Les Miserables. Both of our love birds have always loved theater and seeing a musical at the West End was a must for both of them. During the intermission of the show, Tim got up, looked at Erin and swiftly ran out to go to the bathroom (if you know Tim, this is not surprising). When Tim came back, he asked a fellow audience member to take their picture. While Erin was smiling at the camera, Tim got down on one knee and proposed! Erin said yes (of course), with tears in her eyes and thought "this could not be more perfect. The perfect city, the perfect show, the perfect guy". And now here we are!
