We're getting married!

Tess started attending young professional events to network and meet new people, where she became friends with Jordan and worked alongside Bobby, who unintentionally ended up introducing her to Erik without even realizing it. One day, Tess was talking to her boss about how she and her mom had recently started playing pickleball at the office. Bobby overheard the conversation and mentioned that a friend of his was opening a new padel club. He asked if Tess and Brittany would be interested in joining him and a few friends after work one evening. They agreed, showed up, and that's where Tess met Erik for the very first time. From the start, there was an undeniable connection. Instead of making small talk, they spent most of the evening teasing each other and exchanging playful banter, a dynamic that somehow felt effortless from day one. About a week later, Jordan invited Erik to a Hawaiian-themed networking event. Erik initially declined, insisting it wasn't really his thing. That quickly changed when Jordan mentioned that Tess would be there. A trip to Bealls for a Hawaiian shirt later, Erik suddenly found himself attending. The two instantly picked up right where they left off. By the end of the evening, Erik officially asked Tess on a date. The rest, as they say, is history.
