Join us for our celebration of love

Courtney and Dustin met in August of 2013 through William Paterson University Athletics. Little did the two know that this was just the infancy of their love story. After several years of long distance drives and flights, they made Michigan their home. The couple can’t wait to celebrate their love and future with you!

The Allen and Cottrell family went down to Florida to celebrate the holidays in December of 2019, little did Courtney know that something else was in store, an engagement. Dustin spent months planning the proposal and decided he wanted to ask Courtney for her hand in marriage at the top of the Exploration Tower. No one truly knows what words were exchanged when Dustin went down on one knee, but when Courtney saw the ring she threw out her hand, (which happened to be the wrong hand...you would think that after all the romantic movies Courtney has seen, she would know what hand the ring should go on ;) ], and the ring was a perfect fit.
