Almost a decade ago, a mutual friend introduced Anna and Collin, and even though sparks were flying, the timing just wasn’t right. But, as fate would have it, they kept running into each other and Collin finally asked Anna out on their first date a year later in December 2016. Five hours of laughs, ice cream, and a New Year’s Eve kiss later, they were hooked and it was undeniable. Since then, they’ve moved together from Oklahoma to Chicago, traveled coast to coast, vacationed in Mexico and the Dominican Republic, and built new careers for themselves in nursing and advertising. Then, on one exciting day in May 2024, Collin got down on one knee and they both cried happy tears as Anna said ‘yes!’   Now, they’re going back to the Dominican Republic to tie the knot and make it official. Anna and Collin can’t wait to kick off the next 10 years of their story together surrounded by their closest family and friends while on a beach, and maybe, just maybe with a drink in hand. Cheers to the soon-to-be newlyweds!
