We first met at a high school football game during our junior year of high school. We both reluctantly went to that game with our own groups of friends who then proceeded to ditch us. Being the only two left on those bleachers, we ended up staying and talking until we were the last ones in the stadium. The next home football game was our very first date. Dating throughout high school and some of college, we decided to go our separate ways and date new people (spoiler alert: that didn't work out). We later realized neither of us ever stopped loving each other. Fast forward another 5 years, and we'll be married in October! We couldn't be happier to share this moment with our friends and family!

While spending Christmas time in New York City for my graduation trip, Eric took me on a horse carriage ride in Central Park. When we came to a stop, he got down on one knee and asked me to marry him. I think you know what my answer was! We spent the rest of the trip celebrating, shopping, accidentally going to New Jersey on a shady Statue of Liberty tour, and meeting new friends along the way (who also accidentally went on a shady Statue of Liberty tour).
