Initially we met on Bumble (Like most young couples do now) and thought nothing special of it. After some talking, Austin got pre-screen tickets to the "Dungeons and Dragons" movie (Courtesy of Lauren and her Mom). Nicole was happy to go with, afterwards decided to friend zone Austin as life was very busy. A few months later they reconnected more and started hanging out. They moved in together, started to build a family together with Austin's two cats. After one passed, they got Rocky and really started connecting. Austin proposed on May 5th, as it was a perfect opportunity to hide a photographer during his famous "Cinco De Mayo" picture 10th anniversary shoot. Since that moment Austin & Nicole have been inseparable and enjoying the time of planning their special day, that they hope everyone can celebrate with them.
Austin was born in Louisiana and then joined into a military family with his Dad. 21 years of moving to various places: both coasts, Germany, Missouri, finally Wisconsin. He graduated with an Associates Degree in Network Administration and then moved to Michigan. While that pursuit didn’t work out, he ended up landing a job working IT with Vigilante Security and staying in Michigan. During that time, he met Nicole. He first met her at the card shop Jesters Gallery which he now manages in addition to his IT job. He enjoys collecting transformers, playing card games, and video games with friends. He is excited to welcome this new chapter in their life.
