Colin and Kirstie first met in 2010 working at Borders bookstore (RIP). Both dating other people at the time, they were secretly crushing on each other - unbeknownst to the other. About a year after Borders filed for bankruptcy and closed down, Colin and Kirstie reconnected via social media and officially started dating in late 2012. They moved into their first apartment together in Fort Collins, CO in 2014 and have been happily cohabitating since. Colin and Kirstie share many special interests like craft beer, books, travel, nature, and bar trivia. They have been living in Denver since 2016 and are parents to a Chesapeake Bay Retriever named Barley. Colin proposed to Kirstie at Hofbraühaus in Germany on 6/1/22. Hofbraühaus is a historic beer hall in Germany that’s been brewing since 1589. The proposal was very fitting for the couple as beer has always been a big part of their relationship 🍻 Prost!
