Collin and Alanie both grew up in the small town of Delhi, NY, walking the same streets and attending the same school, but their five-year age gap kept their paths from crossing. Fate had its own plans, patiently waiting for the right moment to bring them together. After college, Alanie set off for the city, embracing new adventures and opportunities. But when life took an unexpected turn, she found herself back home, uncertain of what the future held. By the hand of fate, it was then that Alanie and Collin both began new chapters at SUNY Delhi - unbeknownst to them, their paths were finally aligning. Fate intervened one evening at The Shire Pub, where mutual friends introduced them. What started as casual encounters on campus soon turned into something undeniable. From that moment on, they were inseparable. Some might say their love story moved quickly, but for them, it was effortless - like everything was finally falling into place. A few months later, they bought a house that quickly became a home with their two fur babies, Maggie and Chewy. Then came their greatest adventure yet - a year later, they learned they were expecting their son, Harvey James. Their journey together is a reflection of the beauty of fate - how love arrives not a moment too soon or too late, but precisely when it’s meant to. Looking back on their journey, they are grateful for every moment that led them here, knowing their hearts were always meant to find each other - "Oh, how sweet is time for allowing you and I to live in the same lifetime."
