Erick in crow, Paulina mortified
Cut to 6 months later
The two hadn’t seen each other at all and their only communication was few and far between when Paulina would post the occasional story and Erick would jump at the opportunity to reply. But THEN, Paulina started a challenge on Instagram in which she drew a letter of the alphabet everyday.. so Erick patiently waited for the letter G.
When the day came, Erick messaged Paulina and asked if he could buy a painting of the letter from her. She said said something along the lines of “hell yea, that’ll be $50”
Erick still swears she over charged, Paulina feels she could have gone higher. Motivated buyer and all..
So they meet AGAIN
For yoga (in a place where people actually do yoga). Paulina, again, brought another friend. Erick brought a yoga mat.
After yoga and a chat, they went on their way. And again, Paulina was bombarded with adoration that she’d soon realize everyone just seems to have for him when they meet Erick. And as much as she tried to deny it she knew it too.
Then they take their first trip
To New Orleans. Where they experience the city in a whole different way than they’ve ever experienced it before. By again, doing some more yoga (omg we get it, you guys did yoga), ride bikes everywhere, buying art, going to an abandoned power plant to spray paint and scare the living shit out of Paulina.. etc….
And two weeks into dating. They say “I love you” ever so drunkenly on Frenchman street
And now…
they frequently go to yoga.. just kidding.
But Erick has taken up a very serious strength training program that you’ll get to observe the effects of on April 20th, 2025 at The Pool Party.
but really, they’re just so excited to celebrate their love and the bringing together of their families and friends and are so excited to celebrate with everyone on vacation in Barcelona together <3
WE LOVE YOU!
It all started at a wedding
Shoutout Yvonne & Mark Wachowicz ;)
Erick approached Paulina, showed her pictures of every place he’d traveled and every photo of his Frenchie (Marcel) that existed in his phone (pretty decent strategy if you know Paulina’s love for dogs). But most memorably, upon finding out their mutual interest in yoga, he slid off his jacket handed it to Paulina and struck a crow pose. Right. in the middle. of the dance floor.
And then, they danced the night away.
Thankfully, Paulina’s mom was their to document it all.
But that wasn’t quite all
Though they left on a great note, unfortunately all of Erick’s “tricks” didn’t work, for he didn’t know Paulina had sworn she wasn’t going to date anyone for a while. So when he asked to go for a run together the following day, she said “No, thank you” much to the dismay of her mother. who was already going on and on about “the boy you met last night”
So they meet again
At a bar. Paulina brought a friend, and Erick brought a $50.
After a quick chat, Erick went on his way and Paulina’s friend went on and on about what a catch this guy was and “WHY are we being so closed off to a good thing” Yada yada
Paulina rolled her eyes and moved along but knew there was something.
So..
They go to yoga again, this time alone.
And then they go on their first date, Reagge Fest.
And then probably a few trips to Barbarellas.
A few runs together.
And then a date to an Astros game, where Erick asks her to be his girlfriend.
Then they take their last trip
As boyfriend and girlfriend. They travel up the coast of Spain where Erick and Paulina sit down one night and talk about their lives together and decide they are engaged. Together.
Back at the airbnb there is a ring and Erick gets down on one knee and asks the question. She says yes.
and then asks for the ring to please be resized three sizes to fit. :)
