Austin & Tessa met for the first time in 5th grade at Jesup Middle School. The few first memories they have of one another are how they always seemed to be dating other people. (Hopeless romantics)🤪 Tessa does, however, recall seeing Austin in a new light 8th grade year, right when he was about to leave Jesup for a new school. 🫣An old classmate & friend of Austin’s says he remembers Austin being over at his house & telling him that he had a crush on Tessa Clayton sometime in middle school. 🤭 Fast forward about 12 years, Tessa & Austin matched on the dating site, Bumble. Tessa had to message first (Bumble rules) & said “funny meeting you here!” The rest is history. ✍🏼 Austin patiently & gracefully swept Tessa off her feet. She quickly fell for Austin’s bright blue eyes, big muscles, & wide-open heart. He fell for her silliness, her cats (Toothless & Lily), & dat booty. 🤪 They believe the foundation of their strong relationship is built on open communication, gratitude, sharing adventures & apologizing. 🫶🏼 2023 has been full of adventures, including camping, getting a dog, traveling to AZ, NY, IL, WI, golfing at new courses, playing lots of volleyball, class reunions, & getting ENGAGED! 💍We can’t wait to see what 2024 brings. ❤️
