A love story spanning many seasons and enduring the test of time. Rachel and Colin met in high school summer gym class, there was a spark of instant attraction and healthy competition. While just friends for the first few years, they both knew there was more going on behind the scenes. High school dances from freshman year to Senior prom grew their friendship into a relationship. However, like many young love stories, there was a lot more to life they were on the brink of exploring; and they decided to do so independently. Parting ways during college unknowingly created space for their hearts to grow fonder. While both attending OSU, they remained in close community. Time apart proved to be like water on the seeds that was planted by years of trust and friendship. This ultimately allowed them to regrow that friendship into a blossoming relationship. Their love and fondness of one another lead them to eventually seriously dating post college. The last few years have been full of every emotion, through it all - the grace and teamwork Rachel and Colin have expressed to each other has solidified their confidence to build a life and family together. They are so excited to choose each other in this season, and the many seasons to come. ------------------------- We are so thankful for each and every one of you for your love and support for us over the years.
