It started with the most modern of gestures - a swipe of the thumb. Austin and Kristina met on the dating app Tinder back in June 2017. His initial outreach involved taking her out to ice cream which, in Kristina's eyes, was a swoon-worthy message. They exchanged numbers and texted back and forth for a week before meeting in person. On their first date, they went bar hopping in their favorite Dallas neighborhood, Deep Ellum. Fast forward a few years later and they've accomplished a lot from traveling the world to buying their first home to surviving a pandemic together!
Austin and Kristina traveled to Washington state to celebrate their 3 year anniversary. During their trip, they went to Mount Rainier National Park to go hiking. Two hours into the hike, they found the perfect photo spot overlooking the mountain meadows. Austin directed Kristina to stand in front of the camera so he could adjust the angle. Little did Kristina know, he was preparing to take a video of the big moment. After a few "pictures", he got down on one knee and popped the question!
