One day in early 2020, the stars aligned and we matched on a dating app! Our plan to catch a live concert in Austin together soon hit an unexpected roadblock when the world shut down due to the pandemic. But our connection only grew stronger through messages and FaceTime calls as we awaited our first date. After a few months of virtual bonding, we finally got to meet in person at Mt. Bonnell, one of Austin’s scenic gems. As we sat together watching the sunset, time seemed to stand still. The conversation flowed effortlessly, and beneath the stars, we both knew that this was more than just a first date. The rest, as they say, is history. With a shared love for the outdoors, live music, cooking, and new adventures, we quickly became each other's go-to person. In a world that was constantly changing, the one thing we were always certain of, was each other. Steele didn’t just gain Amber in this relationship; he also welcomed Guinness, Amber's adorable dog, into the family. Over time, the three of us created our own little slice of perfection. Then, one unforgettable day in Big Bend National Park, on top of Emory Peak, Steele popped the question. And, naturally, Amber said 'Yes'! Together, we’ve learned that the best adventures are the ones we create side by side. We’re incredibly grateful for the love and friendship we’ve found in each other. Join us on April 18, 2025, as we say “I do” and embark on the next chapter of our lives together. We can’t wait to celebrate with all of our loved ones! ____________________________________________________________________________ The Timeline of Amber & Steele - March 2020: Swipe Right to Music – We matched on a dating app. Steele’s love for live music caught Amber’s eye, and we hit it off talking about our last concerts. - May 2020: Sunset, Subs, and Sparks – Our first date was a sunset at Mt.
