Austin & Peyton met while serving at Crossings Camp during the summer of 2022! Serving the Lord together was an experience that brought them close throughout the summer. In August they made their relationship official! They have been together since, dating long distance through most of the year! They knew very quickly that they wanted to spend the rest of their lives together, and are counting down the days til they can celebrate with all of the people they love most in the world!

Fourth of July was a beautiful night eating out at a restaurant directly on the beaches of Lake Michigan. They had been on vacation with Austin's family all week. After enjoying a family dinner, Austin asked Peyton to go on a walk down the beach. Halfway down the pier, Austin got down on one knee and asked Peyton to be his wife! They celebrated with an epic firework show that night!
