Collin and Liv first met at Bernard Middle School, where they were in the same friend group. Collin and Liv first became an item at the end of 8th grade, despite Collin having "dated" one of Liv's bridesmaids in middle school! They are fond of the memories they share between sharing classes, hanging out with friends in parents' basements, and even being at the eighth grade social together!

Although sometimes on-again, off-again, Liv and Collin always found their way back to each other in high school, and officially started dating on August 29, 2015. They went to three out of four high school homecomings together, a junior ring dance, and prom. They were even on homecoming court together their senior year! Collin won Homecoming King, and he won't let Liv forget it! Though Liv didn't win, he would often say that Liv was the only queen in his eyes.

Collin and Liv ended up going to separate colleges, and did long-distance for four long years. Liv spent many of her weekends in college driving up to Columbia, MO to visit Collin at Mizzou. Some of their fondest memories include closing down bars more often than they care to admit and spending time with friends they now have for life. They both graduated in 2021. M-I-Z!

In the fall of 2018, Collin adopted their first fur baby, Knox. Collin and Knox are best buds, though Knox does appreciate some snuggles from his mom (Liv) from time to time. Knox is the sassiest little guy you ever did meet, and he has a wicked side-eye, but we love him all the same!

In September of 2023, Collin and Liv purchased their first home together in Holly Hills! This little bungalow holds many memories for Collin and Liv, whether it be having friends over before a night out or lounging on the couch watching their favorite movies.

Duke (quite literally) walked into Collin and Liv's lives in May 2024. Duke was a stray, and walked right up to Liv on the front porch, and he has been with them ever since! Duke loves attention, and is often seen trying to snuggle Knox, much to Knox's dismay. Duke has chaotic energy that keeps Collin and Liv on their toes, and their lives are more interesting for it!

After nine years, two dogs, one house, and infinite memories, Collin finally popped the question on November 30, 2024 beneath the Eiffel Tower in Paris, France! That's hard to top! Liv does not remember what Collin told her while he asked her, as she was so excited, but the moment is still so special and remains their greatest memory thus far.

It is an emotional roller-coaster for Collin and Liv to reflect on their lives together, having known each other for the majority of their lives. Most of all, they feel so lucky to have the family and friends that have supported them the whole way through! So if you're still here reading this, we love you, we are grateful for you, and thank you for your role in supporting us in this journey!
