Our story begins in a small city in Minnesota called New Ulm. There we went to college together and became close friends. After a few months we couldn’t deny how strong our relationship was and we made it official as boyfriend and girlfriend on October 18th, 2019. After a year at MLC, Colin decided to change his career path and so began the long distance relationship but that didn’t stop us from furthering to build our relationship and love. Even through long distance, we stayed very connected and strong, seeing each other on weekends as much as we could. Rhi graduated from MLC in May of 2023 and then moved back home to work and start her teaching career while Colin still had one more semester left of his undergrad at University of Minnesota. Once Colin graduated in December, the long distance was done and it turned into a shorter drive for us (thank goodness). After 4.5 exciting years of dating, on June 8th, 2024 Colin got down on one knee and proposed! We are both so excited to start our journey together as husband and wife and can’t wait to say “I do” in front of all the people who mean the most to us!
