We met like many twenty-first century couples--through the magic of technology! Though we went to high school together, we didn't cross paths until after Collin had graduated. Our mutual friends introduced us, and we began a fast friendship through texting... So romantic, we know! However, we quickly realized that we have so much in common--from our senses of humor to our favorite music and movies to how we see the world and relate with others. The instantaneous connection we felt was truly like meeting an old friend.

After several dates, hundreds of texts, and even meetings with each others' families, Collin decided to officially ask Lisa to be his girlfriend. He wore a nice button-up, bought her tulips (her favorite), and asked her. She answered, ". . . I thought I already was!" to which he replied, ". . . is that a 'yes'?" It was indeed a "Yes."

For Lisa's college graduation gift, Collin decided to choose something pretty low-key... Just kidding, he took her on a trip to SCOTLAND! Lisa had admittedly expected a proposal, but when one didn't come on the evening of their fifth anniversary, she just figured he wasn't going to ask and decided to enjoy the rest of their trip. Little did she know that Collin was waiting to ask on the last day of their trip. On the Isle of Skye, they went on a hike to the Fairy Pools. (I mean, what a name, am I right?) On the hike, Collin asked Lisa to grab something from his backpack for him. As she reached into the bag, her hand fell on a small box... And, I mean, it's pretty obvious what happened next!
