Collin & Caitlyn's love story began in the most unexpected way—at Collin's 13th birthday party at the Highgrove Pool in 2013. Though neither of them can recall the moment they officially met, they do have a cherished photo from that day, where a young Collin and Caitlyn are captured mid-laughter, surrounded by water balloons, completely unaware that they were destined to be together. Fast forward to 2015, when their first documented date took place: a double-date to see “The Man from U.N.C.L.E.” While the movie may have been less than stellar, it was the perfect backdrop for Collin's awkward first attempt at romance—he shyly draped his arm around Caitlyn’s shoulders and didn’t move it for the entire 116 minutes. As they exited the car later that night, Collin turned to Caitlyn and said, “So we’re dating now, right?” to which she replied, “Sure!” From that moment on, they were inseparable. Their relationship blossomed effortlessly from that innocent start into a profound friendship and partnership. They shared countless laughs, indulged in each other’s quirky hobbies, and supported one another through high school and beyond. Even as they took separate paths for college—Caitlyn at the College of Charleston and Collin at the University of Georgia—their bond only grew stronger. Though they were 273 miles apart, they visited each other often, relishing time spent with new friends and attending lively ADPI & Pike events. After navigating the challenges of long-distance love, Caitlyn graduated in the spring of 2023, and Collin followed suit with his MSBA in 2024. On April 11, 2024, Caitlyn and her dad, Patrick, took what Caitlyn thought was a simple trip to Napa for a wine dinner. Little did she know, Collin had secretly flown in to propose. With a stunning marquis-cut salt-and-pepper diamond ring, he popped the question on a hill overlooking the breathtaking vineyards at Amulet Estate. Tears, laughter, and a flood of love made it a moment neither would ever forget. The rest of 2024 has been a whirlwind. Caitlyn & Collin moved into their cozy blue house in Smyrna, GA, in June and welcomed their fur baby, Woodford "Woody" Gloriod-Kasler, into the family in August. As they continue to embrace their engagement bliss, they eagerly anticipate their wedding on April 11, 2026, in Serenbe, GA—a celebration of the love that started with a pool party and blossomed into a beautiful journey with one another.
