Tell us about your love story: Colin and I are a proud Tinder success story haha! While back home from Ball State and Michigan State for the summer of our senior years, we connected on Tinder and feel so blessed that we did because we truly don’t know how we would have ever crossed paths without it!
Colin proposed after 5 years of dating at his parent’s beautiful property. We had camped out on the property the night before, enjoying a wonderful, slow evening together. The next morning we woke up to take a sunrise walk around the pond behind his parent’s house. Towards the end of the walk, we walked up towards a hill that overlooks the property. A little bench sits on this hill. Colin reached under the bench and pulled out the ring box! I was truly shocked. Moments later, both of our parents and siblings popped out from their patio cheering and crying! They had watched the whole thing, it was truly so special.
Colin is not a crier but I think his eyes popped out of his head when he saw me in my gown!
Words of advice for future brides: Soak in every single moment, even the littlest ones. You’re having such a blast every single second that you don’t realize just how fast the day is going. Take some time to look around at the people who have come to cherish this beautiful day with you and your husband.
Share about your TWS experience: I worked with Anna and she made me feel like an absolute model. She knew my vision of a dress from the moment I described my wedding plans. I never felt any pressure or stress with making a decision. I seriously wish I could stand in that beautiful dressing room and try on dresses every day!
Share a special moment(s) from your big day: Right before our outdoor ceremony, out of nowhere, a pretty strong rainstorm popped up. For a minute, my heart sank and I really thought our plans were going to have to completely shift and that we would have to adjust to an indoor ceremony. The love and support of my bridal party, family, and coordinator told me to go with my heart and still do the ceremony outside as planned. It drizzled for the first 10-15 minutes of the ceremony but not enough to be uncomfortable. By the time, Colin and I got to our vows, the rain came to a stop and the sun came back out turning into a beautiful evening. It really felt like a scene out of a movie, I will never forget that moment.
