Austin and Jena met while working as summer camp counselors in Texas. Their summers at camp were unforgettable, but the end of the season always meant difficult goodbyes because it meant that Jena traveled back to Kansas while Austin stayed in Texas. Despite living in different states, they maintained a long-distance relationship filled with love, trust, and determination. Distance didn't weaken their bond; they spent hours on phone calls, planned grocery shopping dates, and visited each other whenever possible. They knew their connection was special. After 4 years of long-distance dating, Austin proposed to Jena on a recreation of their first date at Zilker Park in Texas. She joyfully accepted, confident they were meant to be together.
