In her 2017 memoir/self-help book, Unfiltered: No Shame, No Regrets, Just Me, Lily pens her relationship with herself. "No relationship is greater than the one I have with myself," she writes. So, when Collins decided to delve into the romantic aspect of life, it was only natural that she finds someone who would appreciate her as she is. And for The Blind Side actress, it was Charlie who pledged to love her honestly and share in her trials and tribulations.    

As apparent from her social media pages, the married pair are a fun-loving, adventurous duo and often hit the road nonchalantly. It was during one of such many road trips that McDowell got down on his knees and asked Collins to marry him. "I've known he was "The One" since the very beginning," Collins gushes while talking about their dreamy proposal, which happened during their trip through the American Southwest. Recalling the moment, Collins describes it as "a surreal moment that you just replay over and over in your head."  

Collins and McDowell enjoyed a brief dating bliss before taking things to the next level. The pair sparked dating rumors in July 2019. The twosome met on the sets of Collins' 2019 starrer Gilded Rage, where McDowell holds screenplay credit. The Emily in Paris fame says it was love at first sight. "I knew the second I met him that I wanted to be his wife," the actress shares. After short swirling rumors, Collins made her relationship official in August 2019. Sharing a few snaps of her and McDowell, Lily wrote, "always got your back."     

There's no such thing as hasty marriage when you know you've nabbed the right person. Collins announces her engagement with McDowell in October 2020 and walks down the aisle with him a year later. "I've been waiting my life for you, and I can’t wait to spend our lifetime together," Collins wrote in her post while sharing a gallery of pictures from the proposal. The twosome tied the knots on September 4, 2021, at Dunton Hot Springs, Colorado. Lily captions her post, "On September 4th, 2021, we officially became each others' forever. I love you beyond @charliemcdowell, who also penned a heartfelt note for her new wife on his page.
