Austen and Alex first met when she was trying to figure out her college of choice and he was running track at App State. They met at a friend's get together and had instant chemistry. He told her she had pretty teeth and she froze up and blurted out that his last name was her middle name. Social anxiety at it's finest and a relationship was born. Fast forward nine years, we were spending our fifth New Years Day together in New York City and decided to take a few pictures under the Brooklyn Bridge. Before she new it, Alex was down on one knee asking Austen to marry him. Again, she froze and asked if this was happening or if it was even real! She's not even sure she gave him an answer! So here we are over a year later planning our happily ever after at Austen's childhood home. We hope you will join us on this special weekend as we start our lives together.
