How We Met

First Comes Darts, Then Comes Love

We met at the local bar, Tipsy, while Ciara was working and Colin was participating in Sunday Funday. We played a “casual” game of darts where Colin instinctually told Ciara, “You better hit something or….” The rest is history with love to follow.

The Proposal

10.17.2020

Colin suggested they go shopping in the afternoon on a casual Saturday. To Colin’s surprise, Ciara declined and said they didn’t have to go. Colin was insistent (Ciara should have picked up on something) and they went shopping and had a fancy dinner at Fox Fire. They returned home to Colin stating “I have to run to the bathroom, can you get the stuff out of the Jeep?” As Ciara, entered the house, Colin had a friend line the room with candles and a sign that said “Marry me?”. He got down on one knee to our favorite song with Hazel participating in the proposal.
