Deanna and Eric’s Wedding at Riviera Waterfront Mansion
Deanna & Eric’s Wedding at Riviera Waterfront Mansion
Some love stories are written in grand romantic gestures, others in Taco Bell wrappers and brewery flights—and we’re here for all of it. Deanna and Eric’s journey is the kind of love that grows over years, survives glow-ups and glow-downs, and thrives on laughter, loyalty, and the occasional plumbing mishap.
High School Sweethearts, Take Two
Their first date? A humble walk to Taco Bell—because nothing says romance like Crunchwraps under the stars. But love came back around years later when these two reunited as adults and took a dreamy brewery-hopping day trip out east. That day, something clicked. Deanna felt at home, relaxed, and totally herself. Eric? He was just the guy she'd always been meant to be with.
Love in the Little Things
When you ask Deanna when she knew, she tells you about Eric’s relationship with his mom. Through everything she’s been through, he’s always taken care of her. That kind of compassion and loyalty? It told Deanna everything she needed to know about the kind of partner he'd be.
Eric’s moment came way back at church, when a 14-year-old Deanna calmed a crying child like a little baby whisperer. He remembers watching her and thinking, “I’m going to marry that girl someday.” Spoiler alert: he was right.
The Proposal? Chef’s Kiss.
Montauk, a beach, just the two of them… could it get more perfect? Actually, yes. When they got back, Eric had planned a surprise celebration at their favorite brewery, filled with all the people Deanna loves most. It wasn’t just a proposal—it was a masterclass in meaningful moments.
And Now, for the Embarrassment
Let’s just say they’re that couple—the one that’s always cracking jokes and roasting each other lovingly. Deanna had her moment at Costco when she confidently mispronounced “homogenized” as “homo-jean-ized” (we’ve all been there). Eric? Well, he clogged the toilet in her parents’ house and had to make a covert mission to borrow a plunger... only for everyone to find out anyway. Classic.
A Movie Moment (Ft. 2009 Vibes)
Picture this: a Mets game, teenage Eric totally smitten with Deanna in her Bermuda jean shorts (jorts, if you will), and “Down” by Jay Sean and Lil Wayne blaring in the background. Iconic.
They Came to Dance
These two are the couple tearing up every wedding dance floor—so you already know their big day is going to be a party. Deanna’s all about the candid photos and emotional detail shots, while Eric will be busy proving her wrong with text receipts from 2020.
Next Stop: Grenada
After the wedding, it's off to Sandals in Grenada for well-deserved R&R, no work, no emails—just beachside bliss.
What’s Next?
They’re dreaming of a home, a few little ones running around, and maybe even bold career changes. But first: a wedding day full of joy, movement, and a whole lot of love.
Their wedding song? “Pointless” by Lewis Capaldi. But trust us, this love is anything but.
