Our story began in the halls of high school, where Eric and Emilie shared Algebra 1, though their paths rarely crossed. It wasn't until years later, through a mutual friend (and soon-to-be best man), that their connection truly blossomed. Eric and Emilie found themselves in the same social circle, with Eric living with their friend and Emilie working with him. Weekends soon became a regular gathering, and before long, Emilie realized she was going just to spend time with Eric. Eric, oblivious to Emilie's intentions, harbored a crush of his own. After months of Eric not getting the hint Emilie took matters into her own hands. She sent Eric a text asking if he wanted to "hang out without Ryan." Eric, said "yes of course", and promptly planned their first date. A couple of months later, they made it official, and the rest, as they say, is history."
