Our Wedding

How Eric &amp; Stacy Met:Eric and Stacy's story began in 2009 at North High School where they first met. And by met, we mean Eric tried to make a move and failed miserably. They then never spoke another word to each other for the rest of high school. Fast forward to Freshman year of college and Eric takes another go at it. He would try to get Stacy's attention every chance he could. One day, he saw Stacy lingering by the door pretending to work on a science project with a group of students. Eric jumped at the chance and again, he failed miserably. But this time, Stacy seemed to notice. After months of Eric giving it his all&nbsp;- Stacy finally agreed to a date of baking Christmas cookies... specifically Bacon and Eggs. (3 small pretzels sealed together with a dollop of white almond bark and a yellow M&amp;M. You should seriously try it.)Eric asked Stacy to be his girlfriend December 15th 2012. Together for the Long Haul:March 2015, they made the big move and lived together in a rinky dinky apartment across from MSUM. Stacy and Eric graduated MSUM together December 2018. Stacy earned a Bachelor's degree in education and Eric earned a Bachelor's degree in advertising. Over their relationship, Eric and Stacy have adopted 5 beautiful kitties into their home. Mau Mau, Nahla (passed away), Tina, Oliver, and Gene. They both were fortunate enough to get jobs within their career areas right out of college – and were saving up to go many adventures, but then COVID hit. They changed their plans and decided to buy a house instead. They moved out to Argusville ND in August 2022. The Proposal Story:Eric was planning to propose to Stacy on the first day in their new home, but Stacy obliviously insisted that her little brother stay with them the first couple of days. Once her brother went back home, Eric planned to propose out at sunset by a bon fire. Eric was very nervous that night and Stacy was annoyed with his procrastination of getting the bon fire going so she went out and started it. Unfortunately for Eric, our next door neighbor (Don) decided to introduce himself that very night. Don stayed to talk for over an hour. By the time Don left, it was pretty much pitch black outside. Eric sat very quiet in his chair. He got up to "put a log on the fire" and turned towards Stacy to pop the question. Because it was so dark out, it took Stacy a few moments to understand what was going on. As Eric was trying to make this romantic speech, Stacy kept interrupting, "Are You Serious?!" Once Stacy finally got her sh*t together, she said YES!
