How We Met Colt and Elaine met 9 years ago when a friend of Elaine’s brought Colt over to her place for a party. Being responsible, everyone stayed the night. When Elaine walked out in the morning, Colt had already folded all the blankets. Elaine ran back into the hallway and giggled to her roomate “Wow, he folded the blankets. This guy’s a keeper.” From there they were inseparable. How He Asked Colt proposed to Elaine on March, Friday the 13th 2020. Having a love for culture, they traveled to Chicago for the weekend. The same friend who introduced them—and future Best Man in their wedding—also came along. After dinner, they decided to head down to the riverfront. The twinkling lights of Chicago sparkled in the background. While Elaine looked around, taking in the romance of the evening, Colt hit one knee. When Elaine turned around she burst into tears, thrilled that the love of her life was now her official forever. They celebrated out at the restaurants and bars; the last weekend of normalcy before Covid shut the city down. After almost a decade together, we can’t wait to celebrate with all of you on October 1st, 2022!
