We met after Austin's roommate, our friend Jake, introduced us at a party. I (the bride) immediately asked for his phone number, because I could tell I would want to keep hanging out with him! We were good friends through my last few years of college! Austin graduated from UCCS but stayed in the Springs and we initially drifted apart, before hanging out again. We realized we might have something good!
We drove up to explore the northern coast on a sunny day, taking the coastal roads as we visited an amazing lunch spot on the pier. We ordered pizza, miso oysters, and crabcakes. We then stopped by a nice local shop for some souvenirs and coffee. After that, we headed to highway 1 and walked down to an amazing, beautiful sandy beach. After setting up, we went on a walk alongside the beach and got our feet in the water. After we got back, Austin got on one knee and popped the question! We're so excited to celebrate this next chapter in our lives with you! See you in Carmel Valley!
