Connect How did your love story begin?

Colton and I started as two people who crossed paths at work. Both dedicated to our careers and love for hospitality we bonded over wanting to reach our highest potential. We connected over challenging days and celebrated our wins at work. It was pretty instant that we knew it would be more than co workers but the start of something beautiful. We went on a date or two and the connection was unbeatable. He was unlike anyone I ever met before and we both encouraged each other to be our best!

What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?

My favorite memory is our trip to Zion National Park and hiking and camping in the park. We had the opportunity to hike Angels Landing and it was hands down one of the most beautiful sites to see and such and amazing feeling to do it with someone you loved the most in the world. Legit took our breath away! We got to experience a nice getaway right after a crazy season at work to be able to get out into nature and really take in the natural wonders of the world was incredible!

What would you do with $20,000?

Honestly, put it to the wedding!! We get married 10/10/2026 and are blessed to have some help but are taking on the majority of the cost on our own. We get married in the beautiful downtown San Diego where my family from the East Coast and his from the West Coast all get to come together on such a beautiful and joyous occasion.
