Our Wedding

Jordan and Colton's story began at Radford University. They were both on their junior year at Radford when they began to cross paths. After many months of Colton's persistence - They had their first official date senior year along with mutual friends (thanks Brittany and Alya) at Cabo Fish Taco in Blacksburg. You could say the rest is history! Colton asked Jordan officially to be his girlfriend on February 21st, 2019. After college Jordan and Colton did long distance for a few years while they figured out their careers and where they wanted to be. In 2022, they decided to move to Richmond together and have been there since! They have spent lots of time exploring together, long weekend trips traveling with friends and family, and just enjoying all of the simple moments of life together like visiting their favorite restaurants or going bowling. On September 15th, 2024 Colton took Jordan to Carter Mountain Orchard for the day to go apple picking. They had a beautiful day together alone where they enjoyed apple cider donuts and a few Bold Rocks. They spent time collecting apples and as their bag was almost full Colton popped the question! They then enjoyed the rest of the day laughing and talking about all of their memories together. It was such a beautiful private day for the two of them! They drove home that evening and called close friends and family. They have had lots of fun celebrating since then and are enjoying every moment until their wedding day!
