How did you meet?

We met at work, an office romance. We worked as friends for two years prior to Tony getting the courage to ask me out.

Who made the first move?

Tony made the first move, he asked me out to walk the dogs in a nature area. At the time I did not realize it was a date, but looking back I am glad I said yes to that four mile walk.

What first attracted you to each other?

Ericka: I was attracted to Tony's kindness, his infectious smile, and his beautiful blue eyes.
Tony: I was attracted at first to Ericka's beauty, and intelligence but the more I got to know her, I fell in love with her sharp wit, thoughtfulness, and sense of humor.

What is your favorite memory with each other?

Ericka: My fondest memories are of us just dancing in the living room.
Tony: We went to a light show on one of our trips together and the way she danced in the lights, awestruck, warmed my heart in a way I can't quite describe.

What is your favorite way of spending time together?

Ericka: My favorite way of spending time together is getting to go on adventures together whether it is in the ocean, going on hikes, or trying new restaurants.  
Tony: I love the time we spend together but my favorite of all are when we can be together in nature.

How did you get engaged?

We went on our first dive trip together in Fiji, while there we had a romantic dinner on the beach. The "menu" was actually a book filled with letters and notes that I had wrote Tony since we had been together. On the last page he wrote his own note to me and when I looked up there he was kneeling in front of me. He really had every detail thought through and it was a beautiful evening.

Why did you decide on a destination wedding?

We wanted to celebrate with our closest friends and family in paradise. We wanted to be able to make lasting memories and get more one on one time with those who matter the most.
