June 2005 Archives Some Big NewsJune 01, 2005 — As soon as we saw those words on the email, we knew what it was. And it's unanimous -- it's the best news we've all heard in a while. Greg and Erica are engaged and I couldn't be happier for these two wonderful, perfectly matched people. In true Greg and Erica style, there's even a Web page to announce it.
