Our love story started as we worked three cubes away from each other at the accounting firm we both worked at, Baker Tilly. We worked on the same team for about a year and half, but had only said a handful of words to each other. It wasn't until we were on a trip to Washington DC for a work training that we had our first real conversation. We were the only two people from our office that decided to take the early flight out to DC, which "forced" us to get dinner together. It was at this dinner that we realized we should have been friends a long time ago. We had a great time talking and bonding over our shared love of Spongebob and the weird bear art in the restaurant. After dinner was over, I (Abigail) remember thinking that Colton would be one of my best friends and that he would be in my life forever. Over the next months, our friendship continued to grow. In March of 2020, I was invited to Colton's "friends birthday dinner" and that was when he told me that he liked me. I just so happened to like him too, and shortly after, we started dating. The past couple of years have been filled with many adventures, like trips to Florida, Colorado, and camping. The best adventure, however, would be raising our Aussiedoodle puppy, Cookie. We got engaged on June 15th, 2022 at 7 Vines Vineyard (the same location as our wedding!) during a private tour with Colton's mom, Deb, as our tour guide. My brother, Alex, and sister-in-law, Leah, were on the tour with us. After the tour, I was surprised with more of our families to help us celebrate our engagement. Being engaged has been awesome, and we are SO excited to be married. We can't wait to celebrate with all of you!
