Austin and Claire matched on a dating app and clicked as soon as they started messaging. Claire was hesitant to meet in person at first, but loved Austin's persistence in trying to get together. Around two months after matching and messaging continuously, they finally met in real life...and have been glued to each other ever since. After their first date, they took their time getting to know one another for seven months before making things "official" as a couple, with Austin asking Claire to be his girlfriend at a Russell Dickerson concert. While dating they were still inseparable, spending literally every single day and night together, going back and forth from one house to another, bringing their two dogs Jax and Ivy in tow. Quickly after becoming a couple, they both knew they had found the one. They dated officially for just under a year before Austin proposed on the shore of Lake Michigan. From matching online to saying yes to eternity together took Austin and Claire around 20 months, although they feel like their souls have known each other for a lifetime. They guess people are right when they say "when you know, you know!".
