Avery and Austin started a tradition of going on a vacation together every year during University of Arkansas' Spring Break. In 2023, they decided to go on their first international vacation together to Portugal. After several days of exploring Lisbon, they boarded a train to Sintra, a charming town filled with palaces, castles, and gardens. Avery and Austin were wandering through one of the palace gardens when Avery decided it would be a good location to take a photo together. While focused on setting up the camera, Austin knelt down on one knee with a ring in hand to propose. Needless to say, Avery was so surprised and caught up in the romantic moment that no photo was ever taken. After they were walking out, Austin informed Avery he was about to propose in a different location but she saw plants in another area and walked away. A photo of that location is below.
