In March 2023, while sitting in a bar, Riley was playing Clash of Clans when Laura (Erin’s sister) mentioned that she had a single sister. Riley didn’t think much of it at the time. Months later, Riley and Erin met at a Colorado School of Mines football game in September 2023, but once again, Riley didn’t make a move. Finally, in January 2024, Riley asked Laura what Erin was up to that night. The friend group ended up inviting Erin to Sky Zone, a trampoline park, the next day. There, they spent the afternoon jumping on trampolines, playing dodgeball and basketball, and watching Erin show off her backflips. Not long after, Riley asked Erin out on a date, and the rest is history!
