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.
