In November of 2022 our meddling friends changed our lives forever. That’s right, some of our favorite people set us up. We both went into dinner truly blind, so much so that there was a small mix-up between Natalie and a restaurant hostess. Nevertheless, we sat and talked until we shut the restaurant down. Our next few dates went the same way, with 7 o’clock dinners ending only when the restaurants started to clear the last tables. We bonded over a shared love of cooking, the outdoors, and our dogs. That first Christmas season together is one of the most special times of our lives. We planned our first trip to the mountains together within a couple of months and we knew then that this was it. We were meant to find each other. Our life together since has been full of love, travel, laughter, and more dog hair than you could possibly believe. Austin proposed on July 4th, 2024 at the E.W. Marland Mansion, the same place we’ll be married a little over a year later. We are so grateful for each and every person reading this and can’t wait to celebrate with you. All our love, Austin & Natalie
