“Hey” That’s how it all started. Erin messaged Max (of course she did!) on OK Cupid, a dating app, and they were on their first date a few days later. It was dinner in Haight Ashbury, Max was late and in a messy sweatshirt, and in trying to explain what he did for a living accidentally convinced her that he worked for Barack Obama. Nevertheless, she persisted. They made it official on Thanksgivikkuah 2013 (ask Mike for the full story), and the rest is history. They moved in together in Oakland while Erin was in Grad School and Max was building his business, then back to San Francisco, and finally to Sacramento, where they're the sole proprietors of McSlavkin Farms and the proudest cat parents ever of Dr. Anthony Meow-ci "Tony" for short. The “McSlavkin” moniker that started as a joke has taken hold, and in Philly for Thanksgiving, Max proposed at their favorite parklet near her family and sealed the deal with a cheesesteak. Now back in California, they’re so excited to be surrounded by friends and family as they make it official!
