Austin and Sara met in the Summer of 2016 at Blue Gill Grill in Haslett and started dating shortly after. Sara then began school at Central Michigan University and Austin returned to Lawrence Technological University for his second year. After many trips to Southfield and Mount Pleasant to visit one another, Austin graduated with his Master's of Architecture in 2020 and Sara with her Bachelor's of Science in 2020. We then moved to Hazel Park together in April of 2021 with Austin's cat Chase. Not long after we acquired our second kitty, Link. Sara was accepted into PA school at Concordia University Ann Arbor January 2022 and graduated in May 2024. During that time we moved to Troy where we currently live. Finally, 8 years later we were visiting Connor and Meredith in Chicago when Austin proposed on the Riverwalk downtown. Emily appeared out of nowhere to Sara's surprise as Austin got down on his knee to ask Sara for her hand in marriage. Sara in a state of shock, seeing Emily and looking at the ring, shouted a few swear words and said YES!
