High-school sweethearts, Noralee and Eric first met through a best friend, who is considered to be the hardest working matchmaker they know to date.

Noralee and Eric ran in the same circle while attending Forest Park High School but never officially met until a little summer-pool party. They instantly hit it off and ended up chatting all night. Eric will deny it, but the first night they met, he ended up telling her that he loved her when he hugged her goodbye that evening.

They didn't see much of each other until the start of their Junior year of high school. About a month later, they landed in the same English class. They ended up talking non-stop every day until one thing led to another, and he put together a master plan with her best friend and future sister-in-law to ask her to homecoming. He asked her to be his girlfriend that same night!

Fast-forward seven years later, and now Eric is planning their engagement. It's a hot, blistering, sunny mid- July day, and he has pulled together yet another master plan involving their closest friends and relatives to put together the perfect engagement.

The Seeley family's back patio was decorated with beautiful vines and white roses and the walkway was lined with red rose petals. Surrounded by family and friends, Eric gave the speech of a lifetime and popped the question. Following the engagement, there was a touching video from friends and family that concluded the night.

Though it took months to plan and hours of setting up, it was all worth that "yes" he received to that very important question. Eric and Noralee and thrilled to celebrate their love with friends and family on September 30th, 2023.
