We can’t wait to celebrate with you!

Colin and Taylor have been together for almost eight years now. They originally met in high school through Taylor’s older sister Taryn. Colin left in the Marine Corps for four years and Taylor also went about her life after high school. In October of 2013, Colin was home in chico on his last leave from the Marine Corps when Colin saw Taylor at the sports club working out, he decided to ask her on a date! Taylor took Colin’s phone number down but before Taylor had gotten home, Colin had hunted down her number and texted her. The rest from there is history. We have both built a life we loved. We have grown up together from both graduating college, obtaining degrees and building careers, to buying our first home in Chico. We adore our dog Porter and all of our friends and family we have grown with. We can’t wait to seal the deal and celebrate with everyone on October 2nd!

Colin and Taylor have always used Carmel, CA as a sort of special place together. For many years they have visited and stayed in carmel for Christmas, the summer, or just to get away. In June of 2020, taylor got a sweet covid deal on a hotel in Carmel so she planned a spontaneous trip to get away. Little did she know, Colin had already bought a ring and asked her dad, Rick for permission to marry her. Colin even hired a photographer in Carmel to capture the sweet moment! Saturday night before they went to dinner, they took a sunset walk on the beach. The photographer followed behind very discreetly for about a mile down the beach until Colin got down on one knee and dropped the question! Fortunately, the photographer was able to catch this beautiful moment all on camera! They ended the night at their favorite restaurant in town, Hogs Breath Inn. Carmel will coninue to be such a special place in both of their hearts.
