On August 15, 2015, Collin sent Alyx a text wishing her a happy birthday, and the rest is history. Like many couples on the bride's side of the family, we are high school sweethearts. We've grown up together - graduated high school, experienced long distance, graduated college, moved in together, began our careers, and bought a house - and after ten years as best friends, we are excited to embark on our next adventure.
