Erin and Dillon met in the spring of 2023 when Dillon accepted a sales role at a local tech company. When he walked into the training room, he laid eyes on Erin (who led the first week training for all new hires) for the very first time. He was surprised—he expected to find the love of his life eventually, but to find her at work? How cliché.

Over the course of that first week the attraction grew, but they were both hesitant to make a move (no surprise there - Erin working in HR made things a bit more complicated). The real icebreaker came when Dillon inadvertently ripped his pants during the Marketing guest speaker slot (which would go on to be one of many pants incidents over the course of their relationship).

Miraculously, Erin said yes when Dillon asked her out, and they had their first date at Cathedral Social Hall. Erin and Dillon felt like old friends meeting again after an extended time apart. Conversation came easily, and the night slipped away. Their first kiss took place while Taylor Swift’s “Lover” played quietly in the background - their song.

Over the next year and a half Dillon and Erin lived a lot of life. They spent time with friends and family, navigated a few career changes, found a house to call home and adopted a mischievous puppy named Wynn (who continues to chew everything in said home). The ring was purchased and, within two hours, was nestled firmly on Erin’s finger where it belonged. Dillon surprised Erin by taking her back to their first date spot to pop the question. With Wynn as a witness Dillon spoke of all of the milestones, growth and changes that they had navigated as a couple, and that they were ready to navigate life as husband and wife. Erin enthusiastically agreed to spend the rest of their lives together, and they are now so excited to celebrate this next chapter with all of their loved ones.
