It was a Saturday in September 2020, when outdoor gatherings were the norm and masks were still required indoors. Haley was out with coworkers, while Collin spent the day golfing with his rugby team. Later that evening, one of Haley’s coworkers suggested, “Hey, my rugby friends are at this bar on the patio, let’s go join them.” Meanwhile, Collin had just woken up from a nap, debating whether to call it a night or rally for one more round, he chose the latter. He hopped on a Lime scooter and rolled up to the bar, where his friends greeted him with, “Hey, Pasta’s here!” (his rugby nickname). He sat down next to Haley, introduced himself with a “Hey, I'm Pasta.” Throughout the night, Haley and Collin discovered their mutual Long Island roots, a shared love of cold cheese slices, and the stories that brought each of them to Chicago. Before Collin could ask for her number, Haley Irish-goodbyed—but a few days later he tracked her down on Instagram and asked if she’d like to get pizza at a quirky new spot serving pies in an alley behind a concert venue (thank you, Covid). She said yes, and just like that, their story began. Since then, Haley and Collin have built a full and joyful life together, with a growing list of concert attendances, vacations throughout the States and Europe, and plenty of rugby games with Haley cheering on from the sidelines. Now, they can’t wait to begin their next chapter and celebrate their wedding surrounded by the friends and family they love most.
