We're getting MARRIED!

Erica and Ray officially met at a mutual friends wedding not realizing that they had been at events at the same time even in pictures together just feet away from each other. Erica was interested first, told her friend "you know who I think is cute?". That friend made the connection between the two. They went on their first date shortly after, They enjoyed sushi for dinner, shared some laughs at a comedy show, then played some pool afterwards where they had their first kiss 😘 while "Wild Thoughts" by Rhianna played on the jukebox...8 months later Ray asked Erica to move in with him... and the rest is history.

After surviving quarantine together for nine months Ray decided it was finally time to pop the question. He bought the ring but how was he going to propose? After his first two plans got spoiled by weather and covid. He chose her birthday as the perfect opportunity. Ray planned a special getaway weekend for the two in Lake Tahoe. While sight seeing, the weather was perfect, snow on the ground, the ring burning a hole in his pocket waiting for just the right time. Finally, while at the Lake playing in the snow, taking beautiful pictures of the scenery, Ray asked a couple at the beach if they would take pictures of the two with the Lake in the background. After a few pictures in Ray got on one knee and asked Erica if she would marry him. He caught her by surprise and after the shock wore off, she finally said YES!
