Home Town couple Ben and Erin Napier were college sweethearts long before they were HGTV stars. The design powerhouses recently opened up about their big romance, revealing they knew they were destined to be together in an instant. When you know, you know.

In fact, it was less than one week after Erin interviewed Ben for their school yearbook that the happy couple chose to commit 100%. “Six days later, we decided we would get married," Erin told People magazine in a recent interview, "and that was that.”

But their love story actually dates back to the moment Ben first laid eyes upon Erin. “I remember seeing Erin the first week of school,” he said. “She was walking across the student union, and she had a pixie haircut. I didn’t know what a pixie cut was at the time, but I knew I liked it.”

After being married for more than a decade, romance hasn't faded from the Napiers' relationship. Ben wakes up before Erin every single day, and he uses that time to write his wife a letter. “Erin is my dream girl," he added in the interview. "Why would I not continue to court her and win her over every day? That’s always my goal."

Erin spilled a big secret last week when she announced a new line of scented candles at Laurel Mercantile Co. The first five scents featured by Erin were named: Old City, Portside, Saturday Morning, Savannah, and Summer School. An 11-oz. version of each scent is currently on sale for $26 and burns for more than 50 hours. Two other sizes will be up for sale in the next few months: a 4-oz. candle for $12 and a 16-oz. candle for $36.
