On their first date, Rob took Erin ice-skating. In true rom com fashion, she slipped and yanked them both down to the frozen ground. Laughter ensued and never really stopped. Over the course of three years of dating, they started a home in Charlotte, and raised their adored puppy, Fig.

On a pandemic staycation trip at the Outer Banks, Rob took Erin and Fig down to the beach for a cozy evening bonfire on the ocean. The breeze from the sea kept blowing the flame out, but Rob didn't falter. Instead, he doused the logs in gasoline and set that woodpile ablaze. Rob got down on one knee and proposed. Erin cried, like Rob knew she would, and blissfully accepted.
