Summertime in NY City brings with it many challenges, not the least of which is finding a place to live for the summer. This problem caused Eric and Kerri to meet in the Spring of 1998, as Kerri came to NYU for classes and needed to pick a dorm for that Summer. It would be typical to say that the rest is history, and it is, but we were friends for a full 4 years before we started dating in the Fall of 2002. Once Eric finally woke up and smelled the proverbial coffee, he and Kerri never looked back. After going strong for 2+ years, Eric finally popped the question over dinner at Kerri's favorite restaurant, Rosa Mexicano, the day after Valentine's Day, 2005.
Kerri emailed my dad to ask for help in choosing Summer housing. My dad thankfully passed her off to me instead.
I asked her if she wanted dessert, she said she was way too full. I asked her again, she said the same. I asked her if she wanted to marry me instead of having dessert then. She asked if I was joking. I pulled out a ring and got down on one knee, and asked again. She realized I wasn't joking. She said yes.
