Austin was stationed in 29 Palms, and Chrissy was living in Santa Monica. With the help of mutual friends, they were set up on a date for September 21, 2018. The date started at The Library Ale House in Venice Beach and continued with parasailing and bike riding for the remainder of the afternoon. The rest is history! Fast forward to summer 2023: Chrissy was graduating with her master's in education and had friends and family come down to Florida to celebrate. While gathering on the beach for a big group picture, Austin surprised everyone, especially Chrissy, when he proposed. That leads to today- excited to celebrate this next chapter of their lives with all of you.
