Beginning back in middle school, they knew each other in passing through mutual friends. The real story began in January of 2015 when Isabelle moved back to the gulf coast by chance. They had reconnected a few weeks beforehand, and within a couple weeks of Isabelle being back on the coast Austin swept her off her feet. Our first date was a spontaneous, last minute Christian concert in Mobile. Late night concerts and pizza, coffee dates, movie marathons and hammocks on the beach - four years later, we're getting married!
During a family vacation to North Carolina, they drove up and down the Smoky Mountain Parkway where at the highest peak of the Smoky Mountain look out, Austin said "Okay, I can't wait any longer... I love you. I've loved you for a long time. Will you marry me?". October 11, 2018 Isabelle and Austin said "YES!" to their real life fairy tale.
