Colleen and Joe met in third grade, but didn't become good friends until about half way through high school. Junior year they were partnered up in the same lab group in Anatomy class. When junior prom came around that year, Joe asked Colleen to go through the help of mutual friends (who you can read about in the "Wedding Party" tab). They had a blast and within a couple months they decided to try the dating scene. On October 8th, 2012, Joe 'officially' asked Colleen to be his girlfriend.
After college, Colleen and Joe moved to San Francisco, California and got their first apartment together. On November 21st, 2020, Joe recreated their first date in the city, which was a picnic in Golden Gate Park and asked Colleen to marry him in the exact same spot. He then had a whole day planned of the bucket list items Colleen always said she wanted to do in SF. Colleen and Joe can't wait to celebrate their 10 year anniversary with you all on their big day!
