Shiloh & Eric in Davie, FL

Shiloh and Eric first met when they were just kids, and they spent years getting to know each other before they became romantically linked. The Bride Shiloh-Marie (Shiloh) Forrest, 25, student nurse and licensed insurance agent The Groom Eric Echevarria, 23, manager The Date March 4 One night Eric packed a picnic and the two headed to a deserted beach. As they were walking, they came upon the words “Will you marry me?” written in the sand. “Only, that wasn’t from him,” Shiloh says -- “somehow we’d stumbled upon another couple about to be engaged.” The two laughed it off and headed the other way, but little did Shiloh know Eric really was planning on popping the question. “He started talking about how much he loves me and wants to wake up next to me every day for the rest of his life,” she says. She finally got the hint when Eric bent down on one knee and took out a ring.
