We met at a mutual friend’s Halloween party in 2017 and immediately became friends. A few months later, Austin left for Washington to join the Navy, but we continued to be friends through the years and kept up communication. In March of 2022 we decided to start long distance dating! Despite the 3,262 mile distance and periods of being unable to talk, we were able to maintain a strong relationship through lots of FaceTimes and emails. In February of 2023 Austin finally came home, and we were married by July! Life has been very sweet ever since, and we are so excited to have a day to celebrate our marriage with our family and close friends.
