I was attending a Biola basketball game with some of my new baseball teammates, and one of my friends on the team ended up winning a cake during a halftime raffle. After the game was over, and after my friend and I realized we couldn't eat a whole cake to ourselves, we decided to wander around and offer it to random people. Then I saw Katie for the first time with my friend Parker. I was blown away by her and thought she was absolutely stunning. I walked over to offer her cake and introduce myself and it was all history from there! -Eric I was at a Biola Basketball game with my best friend Cassie and her sister Michelle. At halftime, Michelle pointed out a boy she thought looked cute who was walking around on the other side of the gym. I was in shock because I could hear God telling me, "This is the man," but I was more confused than anything. What man? Who the heck was he? After the game I was hanging out with Parker and the cute boy approached me and offered me cake and sparks flew from the moment we introduced ourselves. Eric and I ended up hanging out all night with our friends, and the weeks following I would "accidentally" bump into him around campus. He finally asked me out, and after our first date I knew he was the one! -Katie

Every year my mom puts together a photo scavenger hunt for Easter in which my siblings and I must drive around San Diego to find clues that lead us to our Easter baskets and a Sunday brunch. This year Eric planned an extra surprise at one of our stops. After we walked up the stairs of Ponto Beach in Carlsbad, Eric, myself, and my two siblings took our selfie with our next clue but Eric stopped me before heading back to our cars. He pulled me into the middle of the compass concrete design on top of the bluff and got on one knee an popped the question! I obviously said YES and both of our families were hiding behind the wall up the next flight of stairs. It was the best day of my life so far! -Katie
