In 2016, Erin booked a trip to visit friends in New York City for New Years Eve. Stephen, having just returned from a family cruise where he came down with a bad bout of food poisoning on his birthday, also booked a last-minute trip to the City to make up for his misfortune. And when the two of them ended up in the same bar in Midtown thanks to a mutual friend, and realized they lived 20 minutes apart in Miami, neither of them could have ever imagined that six years later, they'd be planning their wedding from their first home in Knoxville, Tennessee.
