Once upon a time these two love birds found themselves at a "mutual friends" house for a work party during the midst of COVID (questionable decision). The pair instantly hit it off and started hanging out almost every weekend after they met. After several months of building their friendship/relationship (and Chris's several attempts at asking Colleen to be his girlfriend), on October 13th, 2021, Colleen finally agreed to become Chris's girlfriend. HORAY!

Just about three years later, Chris popped the question to Colleen in her (and now his) favorite place, her Grandparents house in Watersmeet, Michigan.

The rest is history <3
