• Erin said "I love you" first, and Patrick didn't say it back for almost a month.  He makes up for it now by saying it at least 59 times a day.

​

• Patrick makes all of the cards he gives Erin for birthdays, anniversaries, and holidays.  Some of his most intricate designs have included a pop-up cat, hand-cut confetti, and a nine-page mini book.

​

• Their first vacation together was to Erin's home away from home: Surfside Beach, South Carolina. That's also where they got engaged in September 2023.  

​

• Patrick was the one to find Bogey's during the search for a venue.  Way to go Patty Boges.
