Our Wedding

In the summer of 2010, a football player from Louisiana and a golfer from California moved to Illinois for their Freshman year at Northwestern University. Collin & Devon met that same year and became friends. A couple of freezing Chicago winters and humid Midwest summers passed before&nbsp;the two finally got together their spring quarter of Junior year. They have been&nbsp;inseparable ever since! Two months into dating, Collin told Devon he was going to marry her and the rest is history&hellip;they&nbsp;moved in together a few years after college, got a Fox Red Labrador Retriever named Chi (after the city they fell in love in), and after&nbsp;five years of dating, Collin proposed to Devon on April 20th, 2018 at the Hotel Zachary next to Wrigley Field. Collin & Devon are&nbsp;looking forward to celebrating with you on May 31st, 2019&nbsp;in San Diego, CA! #alwaysandforEllis
