Mikyla had just moved from Oahu to Vegas in 2018, adjusting to a new school, unfamiliar faces, and the sizzling Vegas climate. Meanwhile, Eric, a junior, and Mikyla, a senior, formed a quick bond in high school—united by their love for Spider-Man and friendly debates over Goldfish being better than Cheez-Its. Their friendship didn't blossom into anything more. Post-graduation, Mikyla moved on, and Eric finished high school. They drifted apart but kept sporadic contact. However, like all great love stories, theirs reignited with a Spider-Man flick—'No Way Home,' to be precise. In 2021, when Mikyla planned to see the movie, she instinctively thought of Eric, the Spider-Man aficionado with the red hair. She reached out to him on Instagram, only to find he was already at the theaters with his family. This rekindled connection- which led from casual DMs to texting, long phone conversations, and eventually, hours on FaceTime. On December 28, 2021, Eric asked Mikyla on their first date—at 10pm—to get boba and ice cream at TK's Boba. Where they played the Spider-Man game until closing. They later went to a spot that over looks the light of Vegas and talked until 3am. The date was tinged with awkwardness, yet it sparked something profound. They nurtured their bond, weaving their lives with friends and family. By February 6, 2022, they solidified their relationship, marking the beginning of their shared history. On November 20, 2023, Eric proposed with a ring pop at the same look out they went to on their first date. And Mikyla said no. …just joking. Obviously.
