Halle's Matron of Honor, Shannon Bland, met Collin first in Lubbock, TX at the infamous Blue Light bar with many mutual friends in common. After only 20 minutes of talking with Collin, she told him about Halle, and proceeded to let him know that they were soulmates. Two weeks later, Collin was visiting Austin, TX where Halle & Shannon lived at the time. Shannon invited Collin to her birthday dinner, where she sat the two next to each other and they instantly hit it off. By the next April, Halle moved to San Angelo, TX with Collin where he built them and their two french bulldogs, Gigi and Scout, a beautiful home on Lake Nasworthy.
