We look forward to celebrating our special day with everyone!

Our journey began in our first junior high class - 5th period reading. Although, neither of us excelled at this subject, Austin was soon moved to a higher reading class causing us to not have any classes together. Danielle had a crush on Austin from that first class, but he would not consider her more than just a friend for years. We were always together at any social event and spent countless weekends at the Mack Park pool. Two years of constant trying, Austin finally gave in and gave dating a try in April of 2011. We remained together all through out middle school and high school. Once college came it was an easy decision that even though we were going to different colleges we would stay together. After one year apart, we realized we wanted to be together and Danielle transferred to Virginia Tech. GO HOKIES! Our junior year of college we got a sweet yellow lab named Charlie. From there, Danielle and Austin graduated in 2019 and moved to Charlotte, NC.

After being together for almost 10 years, Austin decided to finally decided that Danielle was right since 7th grade and we were meant to be together. We got engaged on February 8, 2021 on Dream Lake in Rocky Mountain national park in Colorado. We snow shoed up a mountain for 1.1 miles where it opened up to a breathtaking frozen over lake. He then asked to take a picture and instead got down on one knee. It was so beautiful and such a perfect moment. We are excited for this next step in our lives and cannot wait to celebrate with each and every one of you!
