Great shots Ron! Thanks for sharing. Love the sunset and color!
Erik grew up in Winona, MN, and was an active child. He played hockey, soccer, and tennis. Nipa was raised in Cleveland, OH and Erie, PA. She was quite the opposite. Flash cards and literature were her domain.
Their paths first crossed in High School after they both moved to Las Vegas. Although they ran in different social circles (Erik was a soccer player and Nipa was a Key Club nerd), both excelled and were Valedictorians in 2005. They went to the University of Nevada, Reno for college. Erik majored in Finance and International Business, while Nipa majored in Biochemistry.
One fateful night in September during their senior year, they met again at “The Wal” (the campus bar) through mutual friends. Nipa asked Erik for help in a marketing class for her business minor (a likely story), and they began dating almost immediately. Soon after, both graduated with honors and moved to back to Las Vegas. Nipa started dental school at UNLV, while Erik started working in Finance.
After two years together, Erik put Nipa through a series of top gear related challenges on what she thought was a birthday/Christmas surprise (oh the naïveté) and finished the night with a proposal at the Eiffel Tower Restaurant overlooking the Bellagio Fountains. Now, Nipa is in her third year of dental school, and Erik has decided to change paths and pursue a career in medicine. They got married on December 16th and are now finding their happily ever after together.
Stub from their first date!!
