IN THE BEGINNING

Erica first caught Arthur's attention when they were in high school more than a decade ago. Arthur rode the M22 bus to Stuyvesant when he spotted Erica walking down Chambers Street -- and yes, they made eye contact. They met a few days later, but Arthur was "too cool to be tied down." (in his words)

FAST FORWARD...

A few years later they met once again through mutual friends. This time Erica was in college and "too busy for anyone." Despite that, Arthur was all about her, even going to Boston just to see her for a day.

Look at my ring!

SEALING THE DEAL

And when she graduated and moved back to New York, they became inseparable. Friendship turned to romance. And romance blossomed to love. After five or six (it's fuzzy) years of dating, Arthur proposed in Erica's parents' backyard.

They will be tying the knot this Fall!
