PART I

Eric had an internship at the New York Stock Exchange Spring 2012. He was going to college at Pace University in New York City. This was the first time when Eric and Tsivya first ever heard of each other. One of Eric's fellow interns at the New York Stock Exchange was a student at the Pace University campus in Pleasantville, where Tsivya was a student at the time. Eric's co-worker was friends with Tsivya, and she told Tsivya that she interns with a "cute Jewish boy" at the New York Stock Exchange and who happens to go to the Pace NYC campus. Eric's co worker was transferring to the city campus along with Tsivya starting in the Fall. Eric's friend who he worked with told him how Tsivya was the president of the Hillel , and how beautiful and cool Tsivya was, so he was super excited to hopefully cross-paths with Tsivya the fall semester of 2012.

PART II

It was a frigid December Sunday in 2012, and it was nearing the end of the semester. Eric was working on a marketing project with some group members and Eric saw a classmate sitting a few tables down. Eric and his other group members went up to her to discuss the project, and while my classmate was talking with her I noticed this beautiful brunette girl with a stunning smile and body who instantly gained my attention. I couldn't stop looking at her. Before I could even say something to her she said we had a mutual friend. My look was priceless when I found out the girl I couldn't stop checking out in the library was Tsivya!!

PART III

We went for coffee dates a few times and this is how Eric gained his nickname "coffeeboy". Things weren't meant to be at this time so Eric and Tsiv decided to be just friends. Eric and Tsiv had a sports rivalry that brought them together; when Eric owed Tsiv a drink because the Red Sox won the World Series.

Finally, in June 2015 Tsiv and Eric got officially reconnected when they met up at a bar. The way Tsiv felt when she saw Eric that night she knew things were different..She had always said that she wanted to end up with someone like Eric and when she saw him that night she knew it was meant to be. After a couple months of dating they made it official and the rest is history.

Part IV

Here comes the proposal! Eric asked Tsivya to be his girlfriend on a bench in Battery Park so Eric wanted to propose to her on that same exact bench in Battery Park. On Saturday, January 7th was that magical day Eric had always dreamed of with Tsivya. Eric told Tsivya that he was going to play football with his buddy Sigmund. Eric executed a perfect plan so Tsivya had no clue what was coming. Eric had Tsivya's two best friends reach out to her about grabbing food and drinks at Cowgirl Seahorse a Pace favorite.. Tsivya's friend Liz told her that she was looking at a apartment in Battery Park and that the broker was sketchy.. With Tsivya being the amazing friend she is she said yes. Tsivya's friend told her she had to meet the broker of the apartment behind the building, and then once when Tsivya, Liz and Dana walked down the steps she sees Eric!! It was a cold, snowy night and Eric got on one knee to propose to the love of his life. Tsivya started crying as soon as Eric started talking because she knew what he was asking and of course said "Yes"!! Eric enlisted some of their closest friends to be there to celebrate this special moment and that might have been one of the best surprises of all for Tsivya.
