Erik and Cindy met in 2019. In conversation they found to have a common interest in travel and shared religious values. As their friendship grew, so did their affection for each other. Soon in 2020 they were flying between California and Washington to visit one another. By 2021 Erik knew he had to move to California to be closer to Cindy. Now, they look forward to receiving the Sacrament of Holy Matrimony and starting their married life together.
