Our Wedding

Collin and I first met in 2017 when we both worked at Fleet Farm in Winona, MN. I had started working there in the summer, but Collin was too shy to talk to me. I left in the fall to attend college in Eau Claire, WI and when I came back for winter break, he decided to finally talk to me. We first started talking after Collin showed me where the garbage was in the warehouse, I was a new employee and didn't know where it was. Collin found a way to keep the conversation going for over half an hour during that shift.Later in the week, Collin added me on Facebook and started talking to me on Messenger. We then talked for several hours, and Collin invited me over to bake cookies later in the week. We baked cookies the first night we hung out and later went to Ground Round for half price appetizers. When we got home, Collin asked, "Was this a date?", and after my indecisiveness we had agreed that it was indeed a date. The next weekend we hung out again at his house and when leaving Collin came out into the driveway and kissed me.From there to almost five years later, on Christmas Eve in 2022 (one of the coldest days of the year) Collin asked me if I wanted to take pictures down by the lake because he thought the bluffs looked pretty. In the freezing cold after taking a couple pictures, Collin got down on one knee and asked me to marry him, and I of course said yes!Since the first day I met him, I had known that he was the one I was going to marry! I can say that Collin is easily my person and cannot wait to spend the rest of my life with him!
