The story of Eric and Abby began unexpectedly, although they grew up in the same hometown, it wasn't until a summer getaway in 2017 with Ella, Abby's sister, and her friends that their paths truly converged. As the summer faded, Eric embarked on a new life in New York City, while Abby continued her studies in Newport, Rhode Island. The distance, however, only deepened their connection. After four years of long distance, they both settled down in Dorchester, Massachusetts. Now, as they approach their eighth year as a couple, they eagerly anticipate their wedding this fall.
