We're getting married!!

It all started in 2020 - yes peak pandemic. We were both in college at the time - Jen at SLU in Missouri & Austin at BYUI in Idaho. We were both back in our hometown for the summer, leading to a mutual swipe right on Tinder. A few days after matching, we shared our first date at Veterans Acres Park lasting twelve full hours. We both felt we had found our match & spent the next week completely ignoring the fact that we were about to have 20 hours of distance between us. Despite the miles, we knew we had something special. We spent our first year of dating building a love that thrived through late-night calls, weekend visits, and countless memories shared along the way. Eventually, Austin made the big jump to move to St. Louis where we finished out our degrees with our newest canine companion Winnie! Years later, our love story led us to a beautiful mountainside in Salt Lake City, Utah. There, we reminisced over our favorite memories, laughing and playing games, until he took my hand and proposed. But the surprises didn’t end there—just as I said “yes,” Austin surprised me with my closest friends running out to celebrate with us! Today, our story continues in Utah - including lots of hiking & daily adventures with our two Australian cattle dogs (Winston & Winona), and a lifetime of memories waiting to be made. We can’t wait to share this next chapter with you all on our wedding day!
