Kaylee and Austin's love story begins like any great love story, a disparaging comment. The first words passed between the two came from Kaylee claiming, "Taurus men are trash" upon finding that Austin's birthday fell in that zodiac window. Hopefully her opinion has changed. We met in Santa Barbara, California while attending school. Our friendship began at church events, but blossomed while working in a shipping department, packaging cacao products. Over a couple years, weekly walks, long talks, and group hangouts, a close friendship lead to deeper feelings from both of us. One night on a late walk along the coast, Austin confessed his feelings for Kaylee, where luckily (phew) they were reciprocated. On March 9th, 2025, during a coastline drive in Malibu, Austin asked Kaylee to be his wife, and the rest is history.
