My sister met James Absher in Vegas while I was in the middle of my 3-day road trip moving to San Diego. She let me know to call him when I got settled because he was a fun guy and it would be nice to have a new friend out here. James just so happens to be Eric's best friend. 2 weeks after I moved, I had an interview at a hotel downtown. James and I decided to grab lunch beforehand and Eric decided to tag along, because he likes food...like a lot. And that was a lunch that we'll never forget. It was pretty undeniable the attraction we had from the very beginning. We started hanging out with friends a lot after that and then one night, he finally asked me out on a date, just us two. Fast forward to July 4th, he officially asked me to be his girlfriend. We have honestly been inseparable ever since. We cannot thank Kelli & James enough for bringing us together!
October 2020, we were visiting Nashville with our amazing friends Chloe & Clif. I had setup a tour for all of us at the Jack Daniels Distillery in Lynchburg, TN. What a fun day! After we were done with the tour, I was told they wanted to take some pictures of just us four. I had zero idea what was happening but so glad I went along with it. So romantic, underneath the rocks, vines & falling water...a truly beautiful setting. I was so shocked when I turned around and Eric was down on 1 knee. I even started to back away asking what was happening. A day we'll never forget, absolutely perfect in every way. And of course I said YES, a million times over! Seems fitting that since we got engaged at a distillery, why not get married at a brewery.
