How We Met

First comes school, then comes marriage.

Like any modern love story, Meghan and Austin knew of each another through mutual friends (Meghan's sorority sisters) and of course, social media. Twitter, to be exact! After a summer of liking one another's tweets and eventually learning they'd be moving into the same student living building on DePaul University's campus, Meghan direct messaged Austin with her phone number in the fall of 2014 to "shoot her shot." From there, the two got to know each other better and instantly clicked despite Meghan's tendency to talk plenty and Austin's preference to keep quiet. Looking back, they both consider their anniversary as the first day they met, September 9th, 2014, because even from the start, it was clear they'd found "the one" in one other.

Our Proposal

A planned proposal and a global pandemic... What could go wrong?

Though Austin had originally planned to propose to Meghan over the water in Belize while on their Caribbean cruise in May 2020, a global pandemic had other plans, rendering their vacation impossible come mid-March. Nonetheless, Austin pivoted and proposed in their Chicago apartment on Meghan's 25th birthday on July 11, 2020 instead! After getting ready for a birthday dinner and opening presents in the living room, Meghan went to the bathroom to touch up. Austin called for her to come back, and though she thought she was just about to see was their fur baby being silly, instead she saw Austin down on one knee. Of course, after nearly six years together, she said yes! As homebodies and creatures of comfort, the two were more than content to enjoy such a special moment together alone in their favorite place... Home!
