As always, I ask my couples how they met and Kate and Eric composed what follows below. Kate sent it to me in a Word document charmingly entitled “Genesis.” I loved the title, with it biblical overtones, as after you meet the right person in your life, the time before can often appear to be in retrospect a void, formless and empty. Then suddenly when the right person enters, as it says in Genesis, there is light.
“Eric and Kate met in the spring of 2007 when Kate was visiting her friend Sara in CT. Sara was dating – and is now married to – Eric’s best friend, Jay, and they thought it would be a good idea to introduce the two. However, the pair didn’t get together just then, as Kate was living in Rhode Island (originally from New York) and Eric had just moved to Manhattan.
But they knew there was something special about one another, and so they kept in touch through text messages, emails, late night phone calls, and a few dinners here and there. Finally, a year later they saw each other again and the feelings between them couldn’t be denied. And so, they decided to give a long distance relationship a try.
They started making plans for the future and realizing they couldn’t live apart any longer, Kate moved to CT to be with Eric, and eventually the couple created a home in Manhattan. Shortly after their 2 year anniversary, Eric, Kate and their dog, Bella, took a stroll through Central Park. As they made they’re way through a quiet tunnel, Eric got down on one knee and asked Kate to marry him. Of course…she said yes!”
