When I asked Arika + Colin to write a paragraph about their love story – here’s what they came up with.
“We met through our mutual friend Meredith on one of our first days of high school. After meeting we found out we had three of our classes together that year so we were kind of stuck with each other. After that, we were homecoming dates turned to best friends and after a couple “missed connectons” it took us almost 3 years to start dating. Even though everyone else apparently knew we would (Sorry, that sounds like a cheesy movie line. haha). I think we got lucky. Falling in love was so natural for us. We’ve loved every minute of it and really feel like we are only getting started. We are our best selves when we are together and that’s how we know it’s right.”
I also asked what they love most about eachother, and it perfectly depicts who they are to eachother.
| Groom, describe what you love most about your bride. |
I need about 40 more entry boxes, but I’d have to say her support for me. She’s my
backbone in life and it’s the most incredible feeling I’ve ever had.

I would have to say just his presence. Regardless on if I’m having an off day or anything like that, he is the “happy” in my life. He makes me feel comfortable being my weird-self, loved, confident, safe all with just being there.

Spending an evening with these two was unforgettable. They are such kind humans, with the largest hearts. I’m honored to share this blog post and show off their love to everyone.
