Reggie and Erin have been professional colleagues in the same school district since 2010. When Erin returned to her hometown in the summer of 2016 to be a school principal, Reggie happened to be working in the same building where she was planning to launch her school. Their mutual mentor, Dr. Curtis Carroll, felt they would make a good pair. He went up to Erin one day and said "You work too hard. You need a husband. What do you think about Reggie Coles?" Erin replied: "The tall guy who wears suits? No." Dr. Carroll said "Don't miss out on your blessing." Erin rolled her eyes, but got to thinking.... :-) Reggie FINALLY asked Erin on a date, 3 months later, to watch the season finale of Scandal and have a home made dinner. It was awkward. Because Erin was nervous. Erin kept her purse on her shoulder the WHOLE TIME. And she ate so fast that Reggie said "dang. I thought you weren't hungry!" Again. AWKWARD! Date #2 was to see DJ Biz Markie and eat at one of their favorite places: Waffle House.Reggie LOVES old school hip hop. Erin loves Cardi B. Needless to say, it was a night full of learning for Erin. They ended the night talking in Reggie's driveway, under the stars, until 3am. It was date #2 where Erin said to herself "I really like this guy. This is going to be different." Several dates later, Reggie asked Erin to be his girlfriend on June 20th, 2017. And then to be his wife on February 08th, 2020....
