It was a Friday night and Colleen was on her way to meet Steve and his fraternity brothers visiting for the weekend. The bar was the Bus Stop, it was boy’s night out, and Colleen was coming in hot to crash the fun. A bar crawl ensued, dance moves were shared, and the "Maine guy with beautiful eyes,” Jimmy, locked in Colleen with sporadic winks from across the room. All was great until an unfortunate dance floor thief incident left Colleen without a purse, phone or keys. Going home was no longer an option so more dancing, cheering on the Patriots, Chinese food, rooftop karaoke, and getting to know one another turned that sour incident into the sweetest weekend for both of them in a long time.

From that day on, living in the states furthest from one another would not be a factor in Jimmy and Colleen moving their relationship forward. Adventure on top of adventure all over the country kept both of them certain that this was something special. Always wanting to try living out west, Jimmy sold his home in South Portland, Maine and made the cross country trek to live in San Francisco and take their relationship to the next level.

Their story continues with more adventures in and out of the country, camping and lots of weekend hikes in the bay area. On one of their few unplanned weekends last summer, Jimmy surprised Colleen by dropping to a knee on a hike near Carmel surrounded by the most beautiful wild flowers that you’ve ever seen. 364 days later, they will be married in Colleen's home town city of Portland, Oregon to start the rest of their lives and greatest adventures yet. See you on the dance floor.
