What's the superior snack choice... crunchy cheetos or flamin' hot cheetos? This is the debate that sparked our first conversation on Tinder, and ultimately led us on the best journey of our lives! Now 7 years later, we can agree the only correct answer to this question is jalapeno lime cheetos.


Looking back on the night we met... an invitation from an older single guy to “come to his parent’s basement” should scream red flags (I know, I know)... but if I had better judgment back then, I never would have met my future husband! High risk, high reward as they say. Thankfully Colin was harmless, and we ended up having a really nice time together.


We met in April 2017 with only a couple months to get to know each other before I had to leave for a nannying job in Spain for the summer. In the short time that we spent together, it was clear we had a mutual connection and serious interest in one another. We spent that first summer apart, but continued to keep in touch and talk to each other as much as possible. When I finally returned home that September, it was like no time had passed! We picked up right where we left off, went steady, and the rest is history!


Over the past 7 years together we’ve grown a lot both as individuals and as partners. We’ve faced some challenging times, set (and reached) new goals, and continue to make the most of our time together through new & fun experiences whenever we can. Whether it’s a Miller family vacation, local weekend getaway, staying home and gaming together, or visiting our favorite breweries with our friends! We’ve made so many special memories together over the years, and look forward to making a lifetime more.


We also want to acknowledge the amazing support system we have from all our family and friends… we couldn’t be more grateful for everyone in our lives! Everyone who’s reading this has made a positive impact in our lives in more ways than one. We’re very much looking forward to celebrating our love for one another, surrounded by all our favorite people! We hope you can make it for the big day, but if not we send you nothing but love & happiness!


Much Love,
