Our Wedding

California shaped him, Greece shaped her, and God, in His perfect timing, brought them together in the most unexpected place—Wyoming. Colin came from the California coast to play Division I football, while Iris traveled across the ocean from Greece to pursue her dream of Division I basketball. Two different countries, two different journeys, one quiet college town where their lives would change forever.In Laramie, their paths crossed, and from the very beginning, there was a sense of peace, purpose, and belonging neither of them could explain. Wyoming will always hold a sacred place in their hearts, because it is where two dreams, two stories, and two souls became one.Now, hand in hand, they look forward to the next chapter of the life God has written for them—together.
