Colin and Kelly met in January of 2015 at Ernst & Young, the public accounting firm where they both got their big start. His first words to her were, "It's your turn to get everyone coffee. I take mine black." He then informed her that he used to sit behind her in a class at the University of Texas. Apparently, she always sat in front of him and would come in to class late. The two became good concert buddies and casual work friends. Then Kelly decided to take an opportunity in Australia and all of a sudden things got serious. After a year of long distance, Kelly returned to Dallas. Colin popped the question on July 1st (Canada Day) of 2020 in Zilker Park, the location of the Austin City Limits Music festival the two love to attend.
