I always laugh when people ask how Austin and I met. We were in high school, I was on the dance company while Austin along with a few of his friends were the “Dance Company Managers.” I never know whether to be embarrassed by it or be impressed that these boys somehow convinced our coach to let them be the “managers” of our team. Either way I’m grateful that it happened because it brought us together. 5 years is a long time to be with somebody and the memories we have are exquisite. Sometimes it feels like we’ve done it all, between two summers of long-distance summer sales, hair school, coding Boot Camps, career changes, traveling, so many late nights and very early mornings. Austin and I really grew up together, all those crazy things that you go through when you’re becoming an “adult”. Well, we went through all of that with each other by our sides. After being together for 4 1/2 years and everyone starting to question if it was ever going to happen, we decided it was time to move onto the next step in our relationship. We got engaged on December 26, 2020 in Park city. Austin pulled through with the most amazing surprise. Long story short, I was up in Park city with my mom and a few of my girlfriends having a girls day. We were walking down the street to get dinner (or so I thought) when all of a sudden we approached a huge crowd of people in the middle of Main Street. As I got closer to the crowd and proceeded to the center I quickly realized Austin was standing there in the middle of a bed of roses just waiting for me. It truly felt like a Hallmark movie! Which brings us here, planning the wedding of our dreams and me trying to summarize 5 amazing years into 2000 words. We’ve waited long enough for this to happen, so get ready to party hard and celebrate with us!
