We're getting married!

Rachel and Colin matched on a dating app in October 2017 and chatted for a few days before exchanging numbers. Rachel then "ghosted" Colin for a couple weeks before she responded to one of his social media posts. This re-started their conversations and led to their first date at the Starbucks right by Gannon University's campus. They went on a few more dates and began officially dating in February 2018. They had a few months of living two minutes away from each other, until the end of the semester, and then lived at least two hours away from each other until they moved in together in May 2022. Colin graduated from Gannon in May 2018 and went back home to Rochester, NY for the summer. Colin then moved to Pittsburgh, PA to get his Master's degree while Rachel had one more year at Gannon before she started law school in Dayton, OH in August 2019. Many memories, events, and laughs occurred between then and May 2022 when Rachel graduated from law school. The couple then moved in together in Erie that same month to start the next chapter of their lives. Colin proposed on vacation in Florida in August 2022 and now we're at this point! They also just bought a house together in Erie in June 2023.
