Can I go where you go?

Mallory and Colton met in 2019 while in a tour group in Australia! While in Australia they got to explore the outback, hold joeys, hop around with kangaroos, meet a koala, snorkel with a massive fish in the Great Barrier Reef, climb the Sydney Harbor Bridge, hike up Uluru, and most importantly become great friends. When Colton went back to California and Mallory went back to Illinois, they stayed close friends and would talk on the phone and play video games together regularly. In 2023, they decided to become more than friends. Colton moved to Illinois in April of that year. In the summer of 2024, they bought a house together with their two fur children Maizie and Butterball. On December 29th, 2024, Colton proposed in front of the jellyfish at the Monterey Bay Aquarium.
