Aimee and Erik met in the fall of 2013 at the internet company, Cloudera’s San Francisco office. He was drawn in by her laugh, and as soon as he laid eyes on her, he knew he needed to know who she was. They had no idea at the time, that this would be the start of something special. This adventurous and outgoing couple connected quickly over a shared passion for country music.
Erik knew Aimee was someone that he wanted to spend more time with…. all he had to do was break through Aimee’s rule of not dating co-workers. Erik started small, asking Aimee to coffee, and after about 3 months of failed attempts finally got her to commit to dinner. It was actually Aimee’s mother who encouraged her to take a chance! Good job mom!
On their first date, Aimee challenged Erik to a dance off and he learned quickly that Aimee is not one to try to beat on the dance floor. They took a break and went outside for a moment which happened to be when they shared their first kiss on the sidewalk. They both laughed in excitement and knew that they didn’t even need a first date to fall in love.
Erik purposed on a rainy day in San Francisco. Erik had planned ahead and asked two of their good friends to come into the city and meet at a “new restaurant” (Aimee had no idea there was no real restaurant). As soon as their friends arrived, the rain stopped and Alex suggested everyone take a walk down to the Palace of Fine Arts. Once they arrived arrived at the Palace, their friend Alex asked the Erik and Amiee if we could all walk around and get some pictures… Erik handed Alex his phone and asked him if he could get one of him and Aimee. Aimee (having lived a block away when she first moved to SF) didn’t understand why they would want a photo, but when she turned to her right Erik was down on one knee!
