Rebekka and Austin's love story began long before they realized it. Born a month apart in 1995 in Austell and Lawrenceville, GA, respectively, they grew up two doors down from each other in Powder Springs. They, along with Rebekka's twin sister Savanah, became inseparable, earning the nickname "The Bekka's" from Austin. In 2001, Rebekka's family moved to Iowa, but frequent visits to Georgia kept their bond strong. In 2013, a pivotal visit saw Rebekka and Austin reconnect at Sparkle's Roller Skating, realizing their feelings had deepened for each other. Despite the distance, they stayed connected through calls and visits, with Austin attending Rebekka's high school graduation in Iowa. Life took them on separate paths after high school, but in November 2022, Austin's outreach with childhood photos rekindled their connection. By January 2023, they began officially dating, and in July 2023, Austin proposed. Their love story is a testament to enduring childhood connections and the magic of timing, evolving from neighbors to lifelong friends to soulmates.
