It was their first year at Mississippi State. They met through friends from the gym, parties, dinners, and football games. They did not start seeing each other immediately, but everything changed in one night. Specifically, they fell in love on Halloween of 2021. That night Emily told Colton that he was going to be her husband. Now three years later, they are planning their wedding and building a life together. Two weeks after that fateful Halloween night, Colton asked Emily to be his girlfriend and told her that he loved her at the 2021 Egg Bowl. To make it even more romantic, it was raining. They had stars in their eyes and sparks in their heart. Their love story mirrors this quote by M. Anthony, "I found you without looking, and love you without trying".
