Believe it or not, Eric and Erick met on a dating app! No need to go into much detail regarding that (lol), however, yes it’s possible! Just takes a ton of endless swiping before finding the perfect diamond amongst the charcoal. It was March 2013 when they met. Almost near Eric’s 30th birthday. Eric was on his way to officially beginning life in his 30s, and Erick was finishing college life as a senior at Georgia State University. Rightfully so, college was a priority and needed to get done. However, for Eric, he was in a different place in life. And determined to not to settle for anything other than that place. From previous heartbreak they both experienced. It was difficult for the two to trust again. To love, and be loved again. Providing a level of comfort, and trust that was reciprocal between the two. With being in two different places in life, it was clear the timing wasn’t right, so their contact slowly diminished, eventually becoming non existent. Erick continued to focus on finishing his degree, and Eric focused on trying to figure out being 30. They both dated others during the few months they didn’t speak, however, neither felt the connection once felt when they first met. Summer of 2013, Eric receives a text from Erick asking for another date. Of course, Eric was his sassy self and made it absolutely tough to date him. Excited, yet skeptical, “You have one more chance,” Eric said. Who knew one last chance would lead to five years of a relationship, including two years of engagement. Their first date, little did they know, would end up to be a lifetime planned together. A lifetime of love planned for two people who “only wanted to be friends.” Living in Seattle, with their two fur babies Sevan and Bleu. From Eric’s firecracker personality, to Erick’s calm and charming demeanor, they’re the perfect balance. Ready to take their partnership to the next level, and unite as one. Eric + Erick = E^2
