Colin was in his 4th year at Liberty and Caroline was just finishing her 3rd. They had met in passing before since Caroline's bestfreind and roommate is Kathryn, Colin's sister. Kathryn's birthday party was the first place they officially met and hungout. A couple of months later, Caroline tagged along with Kathryn at the Dean family beach trip. Although Colin played hard to get for the first part of the trip he asked Caroline on a date the following weekend. The rest is history!
