Erin and Ryan first met at a mutual friends July 4th Pool party.

It was a perfect grill out day- surrounded by friends playing games, spikeball, volleyball, frisbee games, swimming and of course plenty of adult beverages and to go around.

Erin had brought some veggies that she had grown in her home garden to share with friends at the party and she joked about starting her own landscaping business with friends at the patio table.

Ryan overhearing about her love for the outdoors and gardening- sparked his interest. He popped what seemed like out of nowhere into the conversation. He really wanted to get to know her more.

Erin didn't know what to think of this energetic- tall handsome man. Her instinct was to be friendly, but she was also very guarded.

But Ryan was engaged and persistent... he eventually won her over, and helped open her heart with his kind intentions, and his overall drive to get to really know her.

Ryan soon asked Erin out on a Hot Yoga date where through conversation he found they both enjoyed.

While driving Erin home from Hot Yoga, Ryan seemed a bit nervous- both of them were wondering what the next move would be-

then she asked...

"Do you want some tomatoes?"

"Yes!" Ryan exclaimed- as he jumped out of his truck excited to get an invite to spend more time together.

That was the beginning of their love story! Ryan went home with a handful of cherry tomatoes and with Erin's heart that day.

Now- in their home together- Ryan built Erin her dream garden where she can grow him all the cherry tomatoes he could ever want.
