We’re getting married!!

Austin and I originally met in High School during our senior year where we became friends. Then, while in our first year of college we ran into each other during a Halloween outing which lead to a Facebook message that sparked the start of our love story. A couple movie and dinner dates later and Austin finally asked me to be his girlfriend.

After 8 1/2 years together Austin finally popped the question! We were asked by Melanie to come to Tybee and meet her "new boyfriend." The plan was to meet at her friend Lisa's house near the beach to have dinner and meet him. When we arrived to the beach she told us she was on the beach and to meet her there. So, we are walking along the beach and as we pass a piece of driftwood Austin says "hey is there a crab under there?" So of course I turn around and look under the driftwood. Lo and behold there is no crab and when I turn around Austin is down on one knee. Not only did he plan a huge surprise proposal but he also had a photographer to capture the wonderful moment, both of our families there, and a picnic with sparkling wine!
