Our Story

The Wedding Website of Lea Christine Valente and Thomas Burr Austin
Our story began in Plattsburgh, NY in 2019. I had just joined my fraternity, and Lea was already shining in her sorority. We weren’t very close at first, but we kept running into each other at the same parties and hangouts. By junior year, little by little, things started to change. With a little push from a mutual friend, we began spending more time together. Our conversations grew longer, laughs came easier, and what started as friendship slowly became something more. In October 2019, I asked Lea to be my girlfriend… and she said no. And then no again. But I didn’t give up—because on October 30th, after three asks, she finally said yes. That is only the beginning. After three long years of distance, we started our next journey in Stamford, CT in 2023. In 2024, we welcomed our sweet fur baby, Tessie. And now, in 2026, we’re beginning the next chapter of our story together. I can’t wait to marry my best friend and start our forever.
