The story starts as two high school students in a web design class. We hit it off early and became friends during our morning class, but it wasn’t until Breanna put her email in Collin’s phone (to text via iPod) that they started getting to know each other better. Over that summer, we started dating and so began what would turn into a lifelong journey.

As we continued to date throughout high school and college, we continued to grow together. In 2019, we moved into an apartment in Tampa together. After the pandemic, we realized being in close quarters to each other for long periods of time wasn’t a problem. We moved into our first house closer to family in Spring Hill in 2021, this time, with our two dogs, Marley and Delilah, in tow.

Although we dated for over a decade, we didn’t get engaged until June of 2025. It had become a bit of a light hearted joke in the families about when “Collin and Breanna would finally get married”. Well, Collin asked Breanna to be his wife on June 29th during a trip to Rhode Island and she said yes!
