On a night I'll never forget, Erin walked into the Sipango Lounge wearing a black skirt and purple sweater. I turned my buddies and said, "Who is that girl?" Despite the liquid courage in my system, I said nothing when Erin approached my table and asked to borrow a spare chair.

Luckily, a few days later, I found her on social media and built up the courage to ask her out. From the moment I laid my eyes on her, I knew I wanted to get to know her. Once I got to know her, I knew I wanted to date her. And once I started dating her, I knew I wanted to marry her.
