We met on Delaware State's campus through Shontel, one of Alexis' best friends. Eric was dropping off notes from class to Shontel when he first saw Alexis. Casual run-ins on campus followed before we first exchanged numbers, but unfortunately life took us in separate directions. BUT a single DM from Alexis to Eric asking 21 questions lol...8 YEARS LATER... our paths crossed again :) Even with living 1400 miles apart we were inseparable. A few months later Eric made the move back home and to Alexis, and the journey has led us here.

As a graduation gift to Alexis, Eric took her to New York City for the weekend. He bought tickets to see The Lion King on Broadway, which was a first time for her. Before the show they went to dinner for a pre-celebration. Right before the second course, Eric began to express how proud he was of Alexis and her accomplishments and several other mushy words later....he pulled out the ring and she said YES! Tons of happy tears (from Alexis of course lol) and champagne toast later...WE'RE ENGAGED! We're so excited to celebrate this next chapter in our lives with you. See you then!
