Our Wedding

Surrounded by family, on a beautiful &amp; secluded beach on Oahu, we shared a sweet &amp; intimate moment for our engagement!

Engagement in Hawaii

She said yes in Waikiki! 

It was love at first sight! Hillary and Erik met back in 2017 when she walked into the optometry office Erik worked at for an appointment. Hillary had just finished seeing the optometrist, and upon exiting the exam room, was introduced to Erik, the optician. “I’m Erik, I’ll be taking care of you. Wow, your eyes are beautiful!” Hillary replied with “Thank you, I can’t see out of them.” Erik continued to provide Hillary with excellent and professional customer service, promising to get her trial contact lenses in before her trip the following weekend.     A few days later, Hillary received a call from the optometry office. Erik (with his deep and seductive voice) was on the other end of the call, confirming the lenses are ready for pickup. Hillary went down to the office immediately, as it was only a 2 minute walk from her place. Upon arriving, Hillary was greeted by Erik, who again was sweet & professional by offering fresh water and to clean her sunglasses while waiting.  Once the contact lenses were provided, Erik said that a few friends were getting together that weekend and that if Hillary had no plans, he had two tickets for a concert at The House of Blues & told her to bring a friend. Hillary left the office not only with new lenses & concert tix, but with butterflies in her tummy! The cute guy from the optometrist office invited her out!      Hillary invited her close friend Danielle to join her at the House of Blues concert date. Like a classic Wing-Woman, Danielle was super supportive & allowed Hillary & Erik to get to know each other. Sparks flew immediately! After their first date, Hillary and Erik spent the following weeks getting to know each other; meeting family & friends, going on dates, & eating good. They officially began their relationship on September 13, 2017.
