Erin + Steven are the couple you would find walking their dog in the evening or playing video games together. During their relationship, marriage was something they had talked about but had the serious conversation until they were on their way back home from visiting family up north. In December, Steven asked Erin’s dad for his blessing and started ring shopping. But he couldn’t find one he thought she would like. She always had the desire to use her late grandmother’s diamonds from her engagement ring so they decided to design their own so she could wear them. And the ring turned out GORGEOUS! While they waited for the ring to be made, Erin started telling family and friends they were planning on getting married in the summer of 2020. She felt kind of foolish telling them as there was no ring yet and no real proposal. But that didn’t sop her.
They talked about getting a cheap ring and doing an official proposal while they waited for her ring. And one night Erin turned on Steven’s laptop and saw there was an error on the screen about a missing hard drive. They thought the other one had dropped it and had a little back and forth about it. Steven told her to turn it off and open up the back to see what was wrong with it. She struggled a bit as one of the corners was stuck and she didn’t want to break it. So Steven took her spot, got the back off to reveal a ring taped where the hard drive was supposed to be. It took Erin a second to realize what it was and when she finally did, she was surprised to say the least! He removed the ring, got down on one knee and asked her to marry him and OF COURSE she said YESSS!!
