Our Story –

Tell us how you first met? Who what when where why? Give us the dirty details.

  • Collin and Sara met on the club rowing team at Kansas State University in Manhattan, Kansas.

When did you know he / she was the one? Was there something he / she did?

  • Collin knew when Sara was away working for the summer. They had limited contact and he was nearly heartbroken because of it!
  • Sara knew when they started to talk about their upbringing when they were just friends. They had similar values, goals, and a passion for the outdoors!

What is the most memorable date you’ve ever had?

  • Worlds of Fun in Kansas City… Their first date… Sara threw up!

Tell us about the proposal (did you see it coming, how long was it in the planning? How did you feel? Nervous, excited, freaking out?)

  • Collin: The planning took about 2 months. I was so nervous, a sweaty wreck for the 3-hour drive out to the family cabin! Excited and freaking out are two words that perfectly describe how I was feeling! It was finals week right before Christmas Break. I actually had gone into my professor and asked him if I should take the final for his class or skip it to go set-up for our engagement. The professor told me that it was one test versus the woman I was going to be spending the rest of my life with… So I got in my car and headed to the cabin 3 hours west. Sara was at work all day so I went out, set up, and drove back before she got home for the day. I ended up with an A in the class even though I skipped the final*
  • Sara: We were driving out to Colorado, when we had to stop at the family farm for my dad (so I thought). Collin had previously asked my dad for my hand in marriage, and also asked my dad for the keys to the cabin. On the drive out there I knew we had to stop and I kept reminding Collin that we had to. I tried to hold his hand while he was driving but it was really sweaty. I asked him if he wanted to take his jacket off, but he couldn’t because the ring was in there! We got to the cabin; I unlocked the place, and came upon a beautiful display of candles and gorgeous roses. He got down on one knee and asked if I would marry him. We still joke about it today because I was crying so much that we don’t remember if I even said “yes”! J

Tell us the one thing you love most about each other.

  • Collin: Her humor. She is so sarcastic; she gets it from her mom. She is so quick with her hilarious remarks.
  • Sara: His genuine kindness, he is the most genuine person I’ve ever met and he gives so much to others.

If you feel comfortable, share with us something silly or quirky the other person does

  • Collin: Give voices to inanimate objects… pretty much al the time
  • Sara: He completely freaks out when he finds out someone he just met has ONE thing in common with him. It’s super funny!

Describe the theme or décor for your wedding.

  • OUTDOORS! We are huge hikers and we love camping and being outside. We picked an outdoor wedding and theme because it fit our personality perfectly! The trees used everywhere are symbolic to us as we start our new life together. The wedding is outside, but still has an elegant-fun feel to it!
