Our desire to share this happy time with all of our family and friends has, unfortunately, been altered due to COVID-19. A small and intimate wedding celebration will be followed the next day by a temple sealing in the Payson Utah Temple. This is a most unusual time when love and well wishes must be shared from a distance. Please know of our love for you and our desire for your health and safety at this difficult time. (July 6) As of now, wedding plans will continue as scheduled. However, as we monitor the status of COVID-19, our plans will adjust accordingly. The wearing of face masks will be encouraged. The event has been carefully planned to provide for social distancing, and we have been assured that the staff at the Zermatt Resort are taking every possible precaution to keep our guests safe. Please understand, however, that if you choose not to attend, we will miss you but will certainly understand. Check back on this website for any updates as we get closer to the wedding date.

Austin and Madie met at the wedding of a mutual friend in Las Vegas. Madie had decided to go to the wedding just days before and drove down from Utah with one of her good friends. They met up with those that went to the sealing, Austin being one of them, in the lobby area of the Las Vegas Nevada Temple and that is where Austin and Madie officially met. After the reception, a bunch of people went back to the Rock's house for swimming and hot tubbing. Madie was reluctant to go because she was exhausted from driving all day but the night ended up being a lot of fun and she and Austin started following each other on Instagram that night. And the rest is history...

Austin proposed where they first met - at the Las Vegas Nevada Temple. They picked out Madie's ring on a Tuesday and were told that it would be ready to be picked up on Friday. That Thursday, the jewelers texted Austin and told him that the ring was ready, so Austin picked it up unbeknownst to Madie. For months, Madie and Austin were planning on visiting the Las Vegas Nevada Temple so they decided to visit it that night just for fun. As they pulled up to the temple, Madie accidentally saw Austin's mom, Kim, standing around a corner where she was trying to hide to take pictures so the surprise was blown! (But that didn't make it any less romantic!) They parked on the street because the temple grounds were closed, and they started walking and talking about when they first met. They talked about how special that temple was to them and how they wanted to keep it special. Then Austin got down on one knee and proposed.
