Lise and Colby met at Armature Works in Tampa, FL. She knew she was looking for a "tall guy with a blue shirt". He knew he was looking for a "short girl with bright lipstick". The connection was instant. They quickly discovered that they shared a passion for other cultures, far away experiences and learning new things. What had started off as a quick meeting, stretched into a night of laughter over flaming saganaki, strolling along cobblestone streets full of cuban history, and channelling their inner Jose Gaspar. From that night onward, Lise and Colby were inseparable.
In the midst of the pandemic, Lise and Colby escaped to the U.S. Virgin Islands. There, Colby had an adventurous hike planned that began on the beach of Magen's Bay and scaled up the mountainside. At a lookout point with stunning views of the bay, Colby got to one knee and proposed. The rest of the trip, filled with scuba diving, swimming with turtles and exploring the islands, were spent in celebration of being newly engaged. We're so excited to celebrate this next chapter in our lives with you. See you in Hawaii!
