Demi & Erich met while they were both living in Columbia, South Carolina. Their friendship evolved on Demi's Birthday that year when her entire birthday trip back to Nashville was canceled due to bad weather. Erich stepped in to save the day to make sure Demi was celebrated and made sure no one was alone on their birthday. Over time their relationship and love for each other grew stronger but the distance between them also grew. Demi soon moved to Pennsylvania and later back to Tennessee, while Erich relocated to Texas and Austria. 3 years and many flights later, Erich began relocating to Nashville and asked a very important question... "Will you marry me?"
