Robert and Colleen met in their early high school years through mutual friends. The Summer before Robert headed off to college and Colleen began her senior year of high school, they started talking as good friends. In November of 2014, Robert came home for the holidays and to celebrate Colleen's birthday. He bought her flowers and dinner. A week later, they shared their first kiss and the rest is history.
Colleen had plans to travel to Vermont for a girls weekend. When Colleen got to Vermont, she met up with her friends in Stowe to watch a rugby game. They made plans to then get dinner but first, they wanted to go take photos together. After her friends convinced Colleen to change out of her comfy clothes into something nice, they headed to their college rugby pitch in Johnson. Once we pulled in to park, Robert and Colleen's 'song' was playing on speakers, the pitch was lined with roses and photos, and there was Robert standing at the end with a whole speech ready to go!
