Erin and Artemy met at the boat ramp of Holt's Landing State Park in the midst of 2020 shut down. Both being invited to go out on a boat through mutual friends. As these mutual friends began to see each other more often, so did Erin and Artemy. Though always with each other, they both agreed they would remain friends....until they weren't. As the state of emergency was extended, so was Artemy's stay at the beach and the connection between the two began to become undeniable. It wasn't long before they became an official couple not knowing what would come of the relationship as it turned long distance. The distance and time apart was well worth the wait. 2021-2023 their lives together began to take shape starting with their dog Holt, named after the place they met, a house in between their two families, a couple new business ventures, and a ring to seal the deal forever!
