4 Days To Go!
Our Story
Our Story
One Saturday night a couple of years ago, we met at the Neon Cactus, a bar near Purdue. Of course we get to talking just to find out that we are both from Fort Wayne. Before going back to the dance floor we exchange numbers and that's that. Next thing you know, Emily is back in Fort Wayne for the summer and she's going on a date with Collin. Pretty much, the rest is history! We were long distance while Emily finished up at Purdue, and it's been great being back in the same area for the past year or so. We're so excited to get started with our life together and can't wait for our big day.
