Eric and Gina met the old fashioned way, through Bumble. If you ask Eric though, he will take it upon himself to come up with the best made up story he can create with in the moment, just to be more original. The two met for a coffee date at Cafe Jumping Bean in Chicago, despite the fact that neither drinks coffee, and spent quite a few hours talking. Both had a hard time walking away from the first date to continue about their day. They scheduled a second date for just 5 days later and have been near inseparable ever since. Eric proposed to Gina at their favorite spot to walk their dog, Elektra on March 1, 2021, their three year anniversary. The train station they frequented still had their Christmas lights up (Gina's favorite) and the two met under the gazebo with Elektra, who was revealed to be wearing a bandana that read "will you marry my Dad?" They celebrated in their favorite way, by grabbing ice cream.
