Eric and I technically first met back in 2008, somewhere between awkward dance moves and cranking that Soulja Boy on the middle school dance floor. (If you're not familiar with early 2000s music... bless your heart—and head over to Google). Below is what we believe to be our very first photo together (along with a few other familiar faces from our wedding party). Fast forward to 2018: What started as an accidental Snapchat, quickly became the beginning of our story and then eventually, our first date. Six years later—on September 26, 2024—Eric got down on one knee in the quiet of our backyard and asked me to spend forever with him. It was simple, sweet, and absolutely perfect.
