Courtney and August met in August of 2019, at King's College, after they arrived a couple of weeks early for resident assistant training. After long days of training, the resident assistants would often get together to hang out, and Courtney quickly became a host for these gatherings. August would bring his speakers and the food and help clean up afterwards (or at least that was his excuse to stick around longer). This is when the happy couple sparked their friendship with one another. Throughout the year, Courtney and August began to help each other with RA duties such as door decorations or bulletin board themes for their respective floors. They also began their weekend morning diner dates at "S&W," down the street from their dorms (Going to a diner on weekends is still one of their favorite things to do). Over time Courtney and August fell in love. Unfortunately, when the COVID pandemic hit, they had to become creative to find ways to spend more time together, including volunteering as on campus RA's, bouncing around from one dorm to another, and doing online schoolwork together by day and hanging out with the remnants of the soccer team, and their girlfriends, by night. However, as the semester ended, it eventually became impossible to prolong the inevitable. After moving back home, Courtney and August spent a lot of time on video calls, visiting each other for outside adventures, and lots of driving. In the end, they not only survived the long distance scaries, but also built a foundation of communication that served them well as Courtney finished college at King's and August moved to Philadelphia. Over the past five years Courtney and August have watched and played a lot of soccer, traveled a lot, explored many fantastic restaurants, loved, laughed, and enjoyed many adventures! In the future, they plan to travel even more (both domestic and abroad), strengthen friendships, compete in new sports/activities, and build a family together. Thank you for being a part of Courtney and August's journey. They cannot wait to celebrate their love with you! Cheers to the future Mr. and Mrs. Axtman!
