Colton and I grew up in neighboring communities and always knew of each other. It all began on an evening in Creston, IA when my friends and I ventured down for a party. Colton walked in, said hi, and touched my shoulder. Though few words were exchanged, it didn't take much for me to immediately text my friend Lauren and say, "I'm going to marry Colton Bolinger." Little did I know, this would actually come true!

Despite attending different colleges and navigating long-distance, our love only grew stronger with each passing day. We each spent many weekends traveling to our respective colleges to visit each other and continued to grow closer.

After graduation, we took the next big step and decided to move in together. It was a whirlwind of excitement as we merged our lives in this way. Our journey together became even more complete when we welcomed Luna (our sweet pup) into our family!

As we stand at the beginning of our journey of forever, we reflect on the beautiful moments that have shaped our relationship. We feel so incredibly blessed to have the supportive friends and family that we do. We would not be here without each and every person that has helped shape us along the way. We absolutely cannot wait to celebrate with all of you!
