We were both working at the Mall of America at different stores. Our good friend Trenton (and coworker at the time) mentioned to Eric that a "cute girl who liked Monster Hunter worked at the new Japanese store." Intrigued Eric checked out the store, and after we met he kept coming to the store rather frequently. He'd buy a variety of things, mostly snacks, and I thought to myself "wow this guy really likes Japanese candy." ;-) After a while he asked me to dinner and we went on our first date. I really liked him and we had a great time talking about our shared interests. After he dropped me off I gave him a kiss, and when he showed up at my store the next day I knew he was mine! Shortly after he asked me to be his girlfriend, and shortly after that i knew he was the one. Since then our love has grown more and more everyday, and we cant wait to spend together forever as husband and wife!
