Eric and Emily's love story is a beautiful journey that began with a spontaneous winter trip to the beach with friends. Introduced officially during that trip, Eric recalls Emily as his first crush from Hope College, and despite initial uncertainties, he persistently pursued her, eventually convincing her to go on a date while sharing a pitcher of beer at their college bar - Parrots.
Their connection deepened through numerous euchre games, late-night beach adventures, basement parties at Eric's house during the challenges of the pandemic, and supporting each other through classes. Within a week of their first date, Eric took Emily on a memorable adventure, riding his jet ski in Lake Michigan, climbing sand dunes, and sharing pizza at the beach. Impressed by these experiences, Emily found herself inseparable from Eric within a month.
Even amidst the demands of their senior year football and volleyball seasons, Eric and Emily cherished their time together. They explored shared interests such as skiing and snowboarding on trips across Michigan and Colorado, enjoying moments at the "blue house" with friends, attending summer concerts, boating with family and friends, camping, road-tripping up north, and even backpacking 30 miles of the Porcupine Mountains.
As their love continued to flourish, navigating the challenges of work and "adulting," Eric proposed on September 23rd, 2023. With the help of Emily's family, he orchestrated a surprise proposal at her childhood home in Goodrich, Michigan.
Now, eagerly anticipating their celebration in August, Eric and Emily look forward to sharing their love and dancing the night away with family and friends.
