We first met in middle school where Erica developed a crush on John. Later in high school, Erica caught John’s eye and he was compelled to get to know her. When we first hung out at a 2011 Super Bowl party, we instantly hit it off and started to become great friends. Over time, our friendship grew into undeniable love. We started dating in high school, navigated long distance through college, and ultimately lived together in Philadelphia. In August 2018, John recreated our first date and proposed to Erica at Sayville Beach. Our parents waited at Erica's house to celebrate that night, and now we are so excited to celebrate with all of you!
