Austin and Mikayla met on February 1st 2022 at a coffee shop in Tracy Ca, Austin had just gotten off of a shift at the firehouse in Stockton, but was dead set on meeting Mikayla no matter how exhausted he was. They spent hours together that day to the point that Mikayla made up some excuse to go home so she could get on with her day, not realizing she had just met the man who was going to take up all of her time for the rest of her life! Three weeks after meeting, Austin said I love you to Mikayla for the first time, she didn’t believe him. It was only 8 months and a few awesome adventures later that she was moving all her belongings up to Colfax to live with him, remodeling his guest rooms, even building a chicken coop and starting a farm together! On February 15, 2024 Austin took Mikayla to her favorite place, got down on a knee, and asked for her hand. Austin and Mikayla have decided that an outdoor elopement with their parents as the only attendees is their dream ceremony and hope to celebrate with extended family and friends at a later date!
