Our Wedding

﻿Our story began in February 2018, when fate brought us together, despite attending different high schools. What we quickly discovered was a shared love for adventure, particularly in the form of sports, travel, and the great outdoors. We were drawn to each other, united by our love for the slopes, the lake, and the coast. 	Whether it was carving through fresh powder on the mountains, boating at the lake, or relaxing by the coast with the sound of the ocean in the background, those moments became the heartbeat of our relationship. Each adventure was a chance to create memories, to laugh, to challenge each other, and to simply enjoy the world around us. 	Though we came from different backgrounds, our connection grew stronger with each trip we took, each adventure we shared. From quiet moments by the fire after a day on the slopes to thrilling water sports under the summer sun, it became clear that we were meant to be together. 	And then amidst the beauty of the open ocean, Collin took the next step and proposed while we were on a cruise. We knew this was only the beginning of a lifetime of new places to explore and more memories to create together.

Our Story

Mikayla has been my best friend since I was 4 years old when her family moved in across the street from me. From that moment on, we have been inseparable. The laughter we've shared, the late-night talks, and all the memories we've built together have shaped me into who I am today. I never imagined that we'd build the kind of bond we have today. I honestly can't imagine this special day without her standing by my side. She's not just my best friend she's my family. 





Mikayla Long

My two brothers! 
They have been there my entire life and I share with them laughter, adventures, and countless memories. 
They have been not only my brothers, but my partners in crime, soccer teammate, snowboard companion and my greatest supporters. From childhood mischief to the serious moments we’ve shared, I know I could always count on them both. As I take this next step in life, I’m grateful for our bonds and I’m lucky to have them both by my side.

Amanda and I met when I was four and she was three. Our mothers worked together and quickly became close friends, and it wasn’t long before they introduced us. Though we didn’t live in the same city, we stayed in touch over the years, knowing we’d always be there for each other, through all the ups, the downs, and everything in between. One of those best times was standing by her side on her wedding day. Watching her start that new chapter was such a proud and emotional moment for me, and I remember thinking how lucky I was to have a friend like her—someone who’s been a part of my life story for as long as I can remember. As I begin this new chapter in my own life, I can’t imagine doing it without her. It’s not just about having someone to help zip up your dress or calm your nerves—it’s about having someone who’s known you for decades, who knows your heart, and who shows up with unwavering love and loyalty.

From the day Abby was born, I knew she would always be in my life. Abby has always been the little sister I never had, and even though we didn’t have to, Mikayla (her actual sister) and I loved having her tag along with us. She has always added so much fun and laughter to everything we do, and I can’t imagine life without her quick wit and spirited personality.
She has an incredible ability to make any situation brighter, and her presence is a guarantee that there will always be smiles. Even before Collin proposed, I knew she would always be in my wedding. 
I feel incredibly lucky to have Abby by my side on my wedding day.

I had the pleasure of meeting Alia just over a year ago, and in that time, it has been so fun getting to know her. We formed a strong bond rather quickly, and although our friendship is still new, it feels as though we have known each other for years. We are always laughing together during phone conversations and finding moments to connect despite our busy schedules. Alia has a remarkable way of brightening my day, and I feel incredibly fortunate to call her my friend. I am especially grateful and honored that she will be standing with me on one of the most important days of my life—my wedding day.

It's hard to believe we've been friends since we were 3! From soccer games to snowboarding adventures, and even staying tight through college despite the miles between us, it’s been such an awesome ride. Jeb has that perfect mix of drive and humor that keeps things fun and inspiring. He has been such a solid friend all these years and I know that there are many more years of laughter, adventures, and everything in between!

J.T. is more than just a friend – he's family. From the early days of preschool to navigating the challenges of high school and college, J.T. has shown kindness, a sense of humor, and has a genuine care for others. Whether we're laughing together at inside jokes, supporting each other, or celebrating life’s milestones, he's a life-long friend until the end.

Peyton is another friend I have had since I was in kindergarten! "From the moment we met, we’ve shared countless memories — from intense soccer matches to unforgettable snowboarding trips and endless hours of laughter. Through every memory of our almost 20 year friendship,  I’m reminded of how much our friendship means to me. I’m grateful for all the moments we’ve shared, and I look forward to many more to come.
