Derek and Colleen were introduced by one of their good friends two years ago. They hit it off instantly as they shared a love for happy hours, traveling, concerts, boating, MSU, etc! Derek proposed to Colleen privately on a walk at a park near their home in July 2025. The two quickly started planning their wedding, and both agreed they wanted an intimate wedding on the beach. Colleen spent her summer planning the perfect wedding at a resort in Jamaica over the Christmas holiday. Unfortunately, a few weeks before the big day, Hurricane Melissa devastated the island. Our wedding plans had to shift gears quite quickly, and we were on the hunt for a new wedding destination. We chose a beautiful resort in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic, and fortunately, we were able to change our families travel plans and keep our original wedding date. Both families joined the couple for an awesome week long vacation filled with sun, pool days, catamaran rides and snorkeling. On December 29th, 2025 Derek and Colleen were married on the sunny beach in front on their families.
