As is typical for members of sororities and fraternities, Morgan and Erik met at a Greek Life function during the fall semester of 2014. Mutual friends introduced them during the event, but they only spoke for a brief moment. The following week, Erik, with some pressure from Morgan's Matron-of-Honor, Whitney, decided to reach out to Morgan and invite her to dinner. At dinner, they got to know each other as they talked for a few hours. At the end of the dinner, Erik was given the option to donate to a charity as part of the dinner bill. He decided to donate to try and impress Morgan. Apparently, it worked.

When Erik decided to propose, he picked the ring (which wasn't hard to do since Morgan picked it out herself), and mistakenly had it delivered to their apartment....where Morgan was the one to find it. So, obviously it wasn't a complete surprise; she even had a strong suspicion that it would happen on their upcoming trip to Crane's Orchard in Fennville, MI. They started their day in the corn maze, where Morgan was sure that it was about to happen when Erik knelt down...to tie his shoe. They made it through the maze, but with no ring. On their way to the other side of the orchard to pick apples, Morgan received a text from her mom letting her know that her and Blake (Morgan's brother) were there early and would meet them at the orchard. This put Erik into a panic, since he was planning to pop the question in the orchard, and was afraid that her mom would ruin the surprise before he got the chance to ask. Morgan's mom got the hint, and made her way to the restaurant while Morgan and Erik walked down to the pumpkin patch. There, Erik finally got his chance to ask, and of course Morgan said yes. They enjoyed celebrating the rest of their day with food, drinks, pumpkin carving, and Halloween movies...and of course wedding planning.
