Like many great modern romances, Erica and Justin met the old-fashioned way: on Tinder of course. Justin bravely opened the conversation with the incredibly smooth line, "I like your tattoo," and somehow Erica found that charming enough to keep talking to him. What started as a simple message turned into nearly a year of nonstop conversations, memes, flirting, and probably way too much screen time before they finally met in person. On their first hangout, Justin noticed Erica's aggressively large spice collection and said "At least I know you can cook." Thankfully for him, Erica took that as flirting and not an insult. From there, things moved pretty quickly- four months later they were moving in together. Proving that nothing says commitment quite like splitting a mortgage and discussing the temperature on the thermostat. Since then, they've survived a global pandemic, stressful times, heartbreaking losses, and every single weird curveball life has thrown at them. But through it all they built a relationship that has been full of laughter, support, sarcasm, late-night conversations, good food, and the kind of love that makes each day easier. What started as a swipe (and questionable pickup line) somehow turned into a beautiful forever.
