Just a week before the world shut down, Erika met Samantha Sabo through a mutual friend. A few months later, at the Sabo family cabin near Ohiopyle, Erika cracked a joke that sparked an idea. Samantha laughed and said, “You should date my cousin — I think you’d really like him.” Without missing a beat, she texted Steven a photo and added, “You should date my friend Erika. She’s funny and has cats.”

That same night, Steven sent Erika a message. After a few weeks of texting, he asked her out on a date.

Fast forward a few years — Steven brought Erika back to the Ohiopyle area, where he proposed during a hike overlooking the water. The rest is history, and now we can’t wait to celebrate this next chapter together!
