Mike and Erica met in Spring of 2022. Initially meeting through a tabletop gaming group and their mutual friend Devante Lucas, neither of them knew that they would be embarking on a different type of journey in just under 6 months.
The first few games they played together didnt extend far beyond the gaming store they played in, but as the group they were in began to spend more time socializing outside of their gaming hobby, Michael and Erica got to know each other more and more. The more they got to know each other, the more they learned they shared, and the more they began to like one another.
Michael and Erica started sitting next to one another when the group watched movies, staying up late on gaming sessions as an excuse to talk to one another, and even sharing creative ideas over messaging apps whenever they got a spare moment at work.
One day the stars aligned and the two were both single, and neither wasted time pursuing the other. From the first few months of their relationship, each one realized on their own they were meant for one another. One fateful fall in 2024, only a couple of weeks after breaking his toe in an unfortunate work accident, Mike got down on one knee (and shattered toe) to propose to Erica with the perfect ring.
Their relationship has been celebrated by their close friends since its early inception, and this ceremony seeks to formalize a truth the two have known in their hearts only a few months after meeting, and eternalize it in the bond of matrimony.
