ERIN + TJ REVISIT THE LOCATION OF THEIR FIRST DATE AS A COUPLE AT LAKE MINNEWASKA
The first date:
" I think we were supposed to go get ice cream, but ended up sitting in his car for hours chatting down by the river. It was so nice out but we were so caught up in conversation we never left the car!"
The proposal story:
"Of course, I can! I love this story too!! lol
So we were in St. John and it was our second day there, my dad had the "idea" to go get drinks at happy hour down by the boat launches near the shops in town. So we all get ready to go out and Tj must have asked me a million times on what to wear and if his outfit was okay and matched lol once we left, we started walking on the sidewalk, the correct way to actually get to the bar we wanted to go to, when my sister and dad take us off course and decide that they want to randomly have us all walk on the beach- in the COMPLETE OPPOSITE direction of the bar lol at this point I was just confused and hot and wanted a drink lol but then my mom stopped and said she wanted to get a picture of TJ and I because it was a nice background and she "hasn't taken pics of us in a while", total lie lol but I was like okay yeah I love pictures of us! So we start posing and my sister takes my phone to "take some for me just incase mom messes up" lol and she starts taking a few and next thing I know I look over at TJ and he's down on one knee, SWEATING BULLETS smiling up at me! and to think the first words out of my mouth you can AUDIBLY hear on the video my sister has is "Are you F***** kidding me" total shock lol I've waited 8 years for him to propose and to be honest I never (along with half the population lol) thought he was going to propose, but he did and it was the most perfect proposal,with the most perfect ring he made.I could have imagined, my parents, my sister and our lifelong family friends were all there with us and I wouldn't want it any other way."
