It all started on a dating app called Duet, where fate (and a good algorithm) brought us together. From the very first conversation, we clicked- and it wasn’t long before we were FaceTiming every single day and night. On December 8th 2024, during one of our late-night calls, Colton asked Whitlee to be his girlfriend. She said yes without hesitation. Just a few weeks later, we met in person for the very first time- and on December 28th, Colton popped the big question: “ Will you take my last name?” With a smile and zero hesitation, Whitlee replied “Put it on my finger, boiii.” Since then, we’ve created unforgettable memories together- dancing at Whitlee’s first rave, celebrating birthdays, and supporting each other through our first deployment as a couple. Our journey has been full of laughter, love, and late night calls, and we can’t wait for this next chapter as husband and wife.
