The Austin Adventure Begins...

The Wedding Website of Leah Girard and Bobby Austin
And so it began... about 4 years ago, on a cold night. I remember Bobby Austin taking me out to coffee, and just as we were about to leave, he stopped me in my car and asked if he could talk to me for a second. I remember it being late and freezing cold. I remember Bobby Austin standing outside my passenger car door asking me about... "Us. What I thought about us?" Fast forward to 2017 when Bobby Austin asked me to be his girlfriend (3 different times to be exact!) and I finally said "yes." Fast Forward to 2018 when Bobby Austin set up an adventure to Montana with some of our closest friends to propose to me on a dock on a beautiful mountain lake... and I said "yes." (Even though he heard the "no way! no way! no way!" first - as I was clearly in shock). Fast Forward to the future September 27th, 2019 wedding date... a day that will be one of the best memories. We cannot wait to celebrate with our friends and family! Buckle up for an amazing adventure with us! Adventure Awaits.

Bobby and I love a good adventure. Most of you know that we participate in a big scavenger hunt each year called Adventure Hunt. Don't feel like sitting at a table and waiting for us to get back from our photo session? Here is a treat for you! Welcome to the very first Austin Adventure Treasure Hunt! This treasure hunt will be optional for our guests, and requires the completion of a Treasure Map Packet. The Treasure Map Packet will have a "To-Do" list along with "Fill in the Blank" questions that you will need to complete before the end of the reception. If you are one of the first to complete the packet, you will be able to win the treasure inside of the Austin treasure chest! Are you up for the Adventure? Hint: Our guests, and bridal party will have the answers to the fill in the blank questions... You must all work together to find the clues to solve the mystery. Happy Hunting! :)
