Please join us on our special day

Haley’s first impressions: “We met at a party when I was 20. My best friend Tiffani was having a party at her house and she told me that our friend Zak, who was a fixture at our parties, was going to be coming with his brother. She was telling me that she felt like we would hit it off and that he was very sweet. I had gone through a messy break-up a couple months before this party so I was skeptical but I felt like I should at least try to get myself back out there. Zak then came over with Colten in tow. Immediately I knew I wanted to get to know him by his smile - it was so electrifying! I also knew that I was going to need a few drinks for confidence but those few drinks were also enough to get my lightweight ass tipsy (I know, I know, underage drinking). We started talking and he was funny, cute, and SO sweet. We all then went swimming and I was acting like such an idiot because I was tipsy and probably halfway hamming it up for this cute guy I just met. I wasn’t quite yet brave enough to ask him for his number. So the next morning, I asked Tim, Tiffani’s boyfriend at the time, for Colten’s number. He sent me the number and I texted it saying how I had such a good time swimming and getting to know him. I got nothing back. I then waited a few days. Still nothing. I thought I blew it and acted like too much of a ditz. Then Tim said that he got a text from his co-worker who happened to have the same name that asked why he gave his number out to someone he didn’t know and that he didn’t go swimming with anyone named Haley. Tim then sent me the RIGHT number and I texted him the same thing I sent to Tim’s poor co-worker. I got a text back right away! He and I then texted back and forth for days until we eventually started dating on March 4th. Here we are 6 years later!” Colten’s first impressions: “The first time I laid eyes on her, I was taken back by her beautiful green eyes. That’s one thing that drew me in - the eyes. She was gorgeous, had a great personality and the nice butt was a bonus, for sure. She was so sweet, so fun and open. When she texted me, that definitely made my day. I was kind of getting over someone I was seeing and it was nice to get a text from someone while I was having such a hard time. I knew after we first started talking and that first text, I wanted to see more of this girl. I’m so glad I pursued her and knew that it was the right move. After texting more and more, I knew that she was the girl for me. It was a good feeling to see this blossoming. She made me so happy and she didn’t care about me having a kid from a prior marriage. She was still so supportive and didn’t think of me any differently and took my daughter Caycli in as one of her own. Here we are now and I am so glad that we started talking. We now have this life together and it’s only going to get better from here!”
