From Santa Monica with Love

11.1.11

She was an Arizona Wildcat and he was a USC Trojan. They met through a mutual friend and shared cheers and hoorays during football games. He says that she was "the one" the second she stepped out of the car to meet him for the very first time. And although she didn't feel this way the first time, time was what both of them had to get to know each other. So the long distance relationship came into the picture. Through phone calls and airline tickets they decided to give love a try. This was back in 2005. After undergrad, she moved to California to be with him while he attended USC Law. He was meant to be a Trojan after all. He graduated and accepted a job in San Diego while she got into Medical School at USC. So once again they gave long distance relationship a try and let love perch upon their doorstep.

It was a memorable summer and Brian wanted to take Erica to a nice dinner. Looking lovely but not keeping her hopes up she greeted him as he came home from work. And although acting "strangely", Erica had a hunch that this was "it". Unfortunately, Brian forgot to take care of business (he needed to check out the beach to make sure it would be all theirs during the proposal) he was also preoccupied with a speech he prepared. So to make up for this, Brian tells Erica that he needed to get milk. Yes, milk was what came to mind. And so he's off...comes back...forgets the milk and tells Erica that the store ran out of it. It must have been the perfect day for dairy people. So they set off to see the beautiful La Jolla sun set.

He gets down on one knee: "You are my best friend because you know I'm yours", he says. She'll never forget those words. "Yes", she replies as they continue their walk to a whole new chapter in their lives.
