Bethany used to work at the Beef n' Barrel in Olean, NY. Colton, as a bachelor, was a frequent flier there. PJ McAfee, one of the hosts, asked one day if he could share Colton's number with Bethany. He did, and on August 4th, 2023, Bethany texted Colton for the first time.

Colton and Bethany finally met in person! Colton was very brave though, and he met Bethany at a trivia night with all of her friends. The next day, they went on their first solo date.

Colton and Bethany had their first kiss!

Although they had been "talking" since August 2023, Colton and Bethany decided to make it "official" on Valentine's Day.

Bethany was the first one to say "I love you"!

After knowing each other for about a year and a half, Colton and Bethany finally became roommates and moved in together.

Colton and Bethany went to Marilla Bridges Trail in Bradford, PA to take Christmas Card photos. Little did Bethany know that there was a surprise planned. Near the end of the photo shoot, Colton got down on one knee and asked her to marry him!
