Knowing each other through mutual friends brought Michelle & Eric together New Year's Eve of 2017. They hung out all day and into the night and started dating within the next week. Over the next year they talked everyday and hung out on the weekends in their respective home neighborhoods, North Park and Escondido, learning everything they could about each other and falling in love. By the end of that year, Eric took a big leap and asked Michelle to move in with him. They happily moved into the first apartment they saw in North Park and started their life together. After 7 years together, through travels and countless number of beer festivals, Eric took a huge leap this time, and asked Michelle to marry him while they were out to dinner in downtown San Diego. She of course said yes, and both were very excited to get started planning their wedding and take the next big step together as Mr. & Mrs. Justice.
