Colin and Zoe matched on Hinge on Colin's birthday, August 26, 2024 - best birthday present ever! He took her to dinner for their first date and they talked about their love for Jesus, their families, and their hopes and dreams for the future. On September 27, in a hammock under the stars in Mount Madonna, Colin asked Zoe to be his girlfriend (She cried!). While dating they went on multiple roadtrips, visited wineries, hiked, had beach days, skied, visited Colin's family and Zoe's sister in Orange County, had many dinners with Zoe's parents in San Jose, got to know each other's friends, cooked together, travelled to Croatia & Italy, and committed to reading the entire Bible together in one year! On July 6, 2025, Colin proposed to Zoe at Picchetti Winery in Cupertino (You guessed it - She cried!). They are so grateful that Zoe's best friend, Simone, and her husband, Diego, were there to celebrate and take pictures! As an engaged couple, Colin and Zoe pray every day that God would guide their steps down the narrow path He has laid before them, that He would strengthen them in Christ as their foundation, and that He would empower them to spread the light of Christ in the lives of those around them. Their hearts are filled with joy, gratitude, humility, and excitement as they prepare to enter into a marriage covenant with Christ, and celebrate with you all - the people they love the most!
