Eric Rothman and Courtney DiGia’s love story began in an unexpected way. It all started when Eric threw a tennis ball at Courtney’s head with the word “prom?” written on it during their time at Timber Lake Camp in New York back in 2012. Little did they know that this playful gesture would lead to a lasting relationship that culminated in marriage 12 years later.
Despite only taking a single photo together at the camp’s prom, Eric and Courtney went their separate ways and did not reconnect until they both ended up at Duke University in 2014. It was during their freshman year at Duke when they ran into each other during a camp T-shirt day, sparking a reconnection that would change their lives.
Their relationship truly began at a party hosted by Eric’s fraternity, where a mutual friend encouraged Eric to dance with Courtney. Although Eric was initially hesitant, something compelled him to take that chance. The night was filled with dancing and deep conversations, laying the foundation for their blossoming romance.
As they continued to see each other, they eventually started dating casually until their junior year when they both decided to study abroad in different countries. Despite the distance, they found ways to stay connected and communicate regularly, solidifying the bond they shared.
Their love story is a testament to the unpredictable nature of fate and how a simple tennis ball to the head can lead to a lifetime of love and happiness. Eric and Courtney’s journey from a playful promposal to a lifelong commitment is a reminder that love can truly be found in the most unexpected places.
