A mutual friend added us to a group chat where we talked for a while before meeting up at a party. We were already making each other laugh through messenger but in person we enjoyed each other’s company right away. Even with all the distractions around us, all our attention remained on each other. To this day, we both make each other feel like the most important person in the room.
After a few months of talking, Eric and I took a spontaneous trip to Lincoln City, 2016. Not only did we have a great time but we were really able to open up to one another, and that is where we decided to make things official and become a couple. Fast forward five years later, Eric proposed while on a family trip in Oregon. He proposed surrounded by my family on the beach with a beautiful sunset, in the same city we first fell in love in and started our story.
