What an incredible feeling it is when you fall in love with a special person who also happens to be your best friend! Erica and Patrick had grown up in the same neighborhood a few blocks away from each other. Living so close to each other growing up, they were family friends for a long time and shared many fun times together. 

A few years ago, Erica and Patrick each found themselves wanting to find that special someone to build and share their life with. It was during this time they both realized that the wonderful person they had been searching for had been in their life all along. From this moment, Erica and Patrick felt their relationship change into something new and they have never looked back!

When asked how they knew marriage was the next step in their relationship, Erica shared, “We knew we wanted to celebrate our love with the people that we love and begin the next chapter of our life together.”   

In their free time, Erica and Patrick enjoy reading, watching The Office, and cooking meals together. They also enjoy eating at new restaurants and walking their puppy, Lucy

Above everything else, Erica and Patrick value their family, friends, and loyalty.
