We’re FINALLY getting married

Eleven years ago, at the University of Delaware stadium, two teenagers, just 14 years old, crossed paths. The stadium was buzzing with energy, the air filled with the sounds of cheering crowds, but amidst the noise, something special sparked between them. They didn’t know it then, but that chance encounter would change their lives forever. After that day, they couldn’t stop thinking about each other. What began as a simple exchange of numbers quickly evolved into something more. They texted constantly, their messages flying back and forth every second of every day. Whether it was sharing their favorite songs, talking about school, or just goofing around, they felt a connection that was undeniable. Their friendship blossomed rapidly, even though they hadn’t seen each other in person since that day at the stadium. Six months later, fate intervened once again. Both of them found themselves in Bethany Beach at the same time. When they realized they were in the same place, they couldn’t wait to meet up. The sun was setting when they finally saw each other again, painting the sky with hues of pink and orange. As they walked along the shore, the gentle waves lapping at their feet, they knew this was something more than friendship. On July 18, 2013, they made it official—right there on the beach, they became boyfriend and girlfriend. The years that followed were filled with countless memories. From high school to college, from first jobs to buying a house together, their bond only grew stronger. They supported each other through every challenge, celebrated each victory, and built a life filled with love, laughter, and dreams for the future. And then, eleven years later, on that same stretch of beach where they first became a couple, something magical happened. As they stood in the exact spot where it all began, the familiar sound of the waves in the background, Colton got down on one knee and asked Haley to spend forever together. The answer was an ecstatic “yes,” and the two were engaged, their journey coming full circle. Now, as they prepare to become husband and wife, they are filled with excitement and anticipation. They are thrilled to celebrate this special day surrounded by the love and support of their family and friends, who have been there every step of the way. As they look forward to their wedding day, they know it’s not just the beginning of their marriage, but the continuation of a beautiful love story that started all those years ago at UD stadium.
