We met at a gathering for a mutual friend. Both of us were not looking for anything special. We knew one another, but had never met until that day. However, that day we were inseparable. We both left without getting each other's phone numbers. It wasn't until I got his Snapchat from the mutual friend a few weeks later that began our forever.

We took a long weekend vacation to the beach during the summer. We got up early one morning to watch the sunrise. I rolled out of bed fully preparing to just stay in pajamas, whereas Austin strongly suggested to wear something else. After getting dressed and in the truck, we drove onto the beach. Once we found our spot and got out to take pictures, Austin "forgot his phone in the truck". I was oblivious. But once I turned around, Austin was on one knee and asked "will you marry me?" All I could say was "oh no" about ten times. Scared him half to death. Eventually I said yes. And the rest is history. We're so excited to celebrate this next chapter in our lives with you!
