We met at the University of Florida and truly believe God knew we needed each other. Neither of us originally thought we would end up at that University but He did. It was Brianne's first semester at UF, and she was enrolled in a Level 1 Spanish class. After the first two days, Brianne's teacher advised her that she would fit better in a Level 2 Spanish class instead. Last minute, Brianne decided to drop her Spanish 1 class and enroll in a Spanish 2 class. Little did she know, a couple hours before the deadline to switch classes, Austin decided to also switch classes and enroll in the same Spanish class that only had one spot left. The next day, Austin strolled into class and saw an open seat next to Brianne, immediately he knew this one was special. From that day on, they sat next to each other and slowly began to realize their similarities... they lived in the same apartment complex, both economics majors, and were originally in the same economics class. Not to mention, had a passion and love for the same things. From there on, they were inseparable and have grown in their relationship and love everyday.
Austin proposed to Brianne at 9:00AM on his birthday! Brianne's birthday present to Austin was a day off work to do whatever he wished. He started his birthday with going to the place that St. Augustine was founded, The Great Cross. The cross symbolized the settlers dedication of the land to God and Austin wanted to use the beautiful location as a place to dedicate our marriage to God. He brought Brianne to the bottom of the 208 feet tall cross and got down on one knee while looking out on the water. Now, we can't wait to get married on the water we looked out on and for you to join us. We're so excited to celebrate this next chapter in our lives with you. See you in St. Augustine Florida!
