Early in the morning on April 20, 2024, Austin was at the Farmer’s Market visiting his friend, Alex, who was working at a kombucha stand. Marie was there shopping with her family when her mom pointed out how cute Austin was. Fast forward a few minutes — Marie decided to buy two cans of kombucha (which she actually hates — sorry, Alex) as an excuse to introduce herself and start a conversation with Austin. They hit it off instantly. The next day, Austin DM’d her on Instagram and asked her out, and they’ve been inseparable ever since.
