Eric and Spirit met while working at a movie theatre in south Charlotte, NC. Spirit had just started the job in December and Eric had started two months before. Fast friends led to regular hangouts, which eventually led to their first date on February 20th, 2019. A whirlwind of adventure, travel, and fast love ensued. A shared love for craft beer took them all over North and South Carolina, seeking out adventure, friends, good beer, and good times. Memories were made and the couple quickly realized they were meant to be. Not quite a year later, on one of their regular brewery adventures, they found themselves at Koi Pond Brewing Company in Rocky Mount, NC. In a spur-of-the-moment decision, Eric got down on one knee and proposed with what he had on hand and something that is a treasured memory now - a growler cap. February 5th, 2020, the couple were happily engaged, beginning the next leg of their adventure.
