How it all began

 

Erik & Marissa

 

Erik and Marissa first met in 2014 as participants in Zeldathon, a biannual video game marathon for charity. After an adventurous rendezvous where Erik took Marissa skiing for the first time, we began our relationship in January 2017.

Marissa soon relocated to Wisconsin, and we moved in together in August 2018.

In February 2020, Erik proposed at the base of a ski mountain, a commemoration of our first date.

And the rest is history

Today, we are living happily in the greater Milwaukee area with our mini aussie shepherd Bento. We are finally ready to make it official and celebrate with our family and friends!

Our first date at Peek'n Peak in New York, Jan. 2017. Erik is a very patient teacher!
