We are so thankful that Bridget has been a part of both of our stories and acted as the matchmaker that began our beautiful relationship.

Our first date was June 1st, 2022, where Steve took Erin out for a drink at The Chocolate Bar in Downtown Cleveland. We hit things off immediately from there!

Our relationship became official on June 18th, 2022, and shortly after this, Steve left for a travel nursing contract in Hawaii. We navigated a long-distance relationship with strong communication and built a solid foundation for our blooming relationship. Erin was able to visit the gorgeous area one month in, and we celebrated with a luau. Then again, meeting halfway between Ohio and Hawaii, we shared our first I love you in Santa Barbara, California on September 3rd, 2022.

That November, Steve left the warm Hawaiian beaches in favor of Erin’s warm embrace, where we were able to continue growing our once early relationship. Cleveland provided many opportunities to grow and learn more about each other thereafter.

We finally got engaged in the romantic City Park of New Orleans on January 5th, 2024, and are so excited to celebrate our love with all of you during our wedding.
