Hello Family and Friends, With an unexpected turn of events, this pandemic will not overcome our unity as one. We as a couple have gained greater respect to the "unexpected". Life is just that, unexpected. However, it is what we make of those "lemons" that can make one smile at the end of it. We have postponed our reception to a further date next year. We will have a small civil ceremony with immediate family members. We would like to thank you all for your love and support during these times, as I am sure we have all been affected somehow. We raise our glasses and say, Love is NOT canceled. Love, Karla & Colton

We met the month of October, 2018. Lucky for us we found each other using online dating for church members. We "matched" and met for the first time on the dance floor. We took long walks in between dancing to talk that night. We both opened up quite easily. We both saw something special in each other. The chemistry, the sparks, the qualities were all there. Something was just right. We couldn't stop seeing each other that week. It took a week when we were hooked. Hooked for good!

We got engaged on our 1 year anniversary, 10/26/2019. It was a very special day! It was at Color Me Mine. Colton named it, "Karla Me Mine", very clever. Colton took weeks painting and organizing the whole thing. Each ceramic piece played it's own role in asking for my hand. Each of my siblings and parents were in charge of bringing one piece at a time. That evening will forever be engraved in my heart! Excited to celebrate our marriage with our loved ones!
