After their very first date, Kaitlin texted Eric with an offer he couldn’t refuse: baked ziti and a Bills game. It was the perfect beginning.

2. The Beach Day

They shared sandwiches from James Jonathan’s and talked for hours — about hopes, dreams, and the life they might build together.

3. Thanksgiving Detour

Eric skipped going home early for Thanksgiving to stay in town and see a show with Kaitlin. It was the beginning of choosing each other, always.

4. The Crash

When Kaitlin got tough news about IVF, Eric rushed to be by her side — even crashing his car in the process. Love means showing up, no matter what.

5. Hollywood Studios & Jedi Dreams

A magical day filled with lightsabers and laughter — Eric got to live out his Star Wars dreams, and Kaitlin got to meet his family for the first time.

6. The Most Romantic Valentine’s Day

Eric pulled out all the stops to plan the most thoughtful, romantic Valentine’s Day Kaitlin had ever experienced.

7. Six Months In

Eric surprised Kaitlin at the airport with flowers, then took her to iPIC — an upgraded version of their beloved movie nights. A small gesture, made special.

8. IVF & First Passover

They began their first IVF journey just before celebrating their first Passover together — proof that even hard beginnings can bring people closer.

9. The Big Move

They moved in together and didn’t argue once about where anything should go — a true sign of compatibility (and excellent taste).

10. The Epic Proposal

Despite low tire pressure, travel delays, and 100-degree heat (and a slightly grumpy Kaitlin), Eric pulled off an unforgettable proposal — with the help of her entire family.
