Engagement: Eisenberg – Thomas - Atlanta Jewish Times

Cara Eisenberg and Erin Thomas live in Denver, Colo., and celebrated their engagement in Atlanta recently with friends and family.

Eisenberg and Thomas moved to Denver seven years ago, with Eisenberg moving from Atlanta and Thomas from California. Both were seeking a new and exciting chapter in their lives.

Sugar Eisenberg, Cara’s mother, shared her joy and love for both girls.

“Both girls make each other happy and a better person. They love to travel the world and they have been to quite a few countries together, including Mexico, Italy, Holland, England, Spain, Portugal, and many islands.”

The girls are crazy about trips and travel.

“We both love travel more than anything else,” Eisenberg explained. “It’s where we prefer to save and spend our money. We love trying new food and splurging at a Michelin star restaurant. We spend our days exploring and playing cards at wineries and laughing lots. Our favorite trip was 10 days in Lake Como with no plans and beautiful views and delicious food. We can’t wait to go to Asia and New Zealand/Australia for our honeymoon!”

The couple then described how their relationship started.

“We met on Bumble, a dating app, at the peak of the pandemic in May 2020. Our first few dates were via Zoom!”

Thomas continued, “We knew that marriage was in our future and went wedding ring shopping together so that we could each help to pick out the perfect stone for one another. We got engaged in Maine in July 2022.”

Thomas proposed first on Peak’s Island where Eisenberg spent most of her summers growing up. Eisenberg popped the question a few days later in Acadia National Park.

“Both families joined us in Maine the next day to celebrate!”

They then shared their wedding plans.

“We are planning an intimate wedding in Sayulita, Mexico, with our closest friends and family for New Year’s Eve, 12/31/2024.”

Nadia Bilchik and her husband, Steve Kesler, hosted the engagement celebration at their home.

“It is so expensive to host a celebration at a venue, and it is such a pleasure to open our home for our good friends in our mini-event facility.”
