"I couldn't wait to ask her to marry me," McCollum told PEOPLE about their engagement. "There was no backup plan and no hesitation. I didn't overthink one thing. I was like, 'It can't get any better than her.' There was no doubt in my mind that I was making the right decision."
As they embark on this new chapter as parents, McCollum and Light have shared their joy and love with the world, making it clear that their journey together is filled with gratitude and excitement.
