Erick and I met by a stroke of luck in the rec. lounge of my residence hall. A few months later Erick attempted to ask me to marry him. Yes you read that right I said a few months. I laughed at him. Not the best response. The topic comes up more and more after that. One night I got up the nerve and told him that if he didn't ask me I was going to ask him. On May 8th 2003 just seven months after meeting wrapped in an embrace in the middle of my dorm room Erick asked me to be his and I said yes. As you can imagine our families thought we were nuts. Two years after he proposed we were married (Mothers Day 2005). Our wedding was beautiful. It rained but just as we said I do it stopped. Perfect! I could not have asked for anything better.
