We first met working together at Austin’s dad’s office — three years of friendship (and a lot of laughs) later, we realized that something bigger had been growing all along. After years of sharing inside jokes, workday conversations, and more than a few coffee runs, Austin finally asked Sam out. For our first official date, we went to the movies — a simple night that ended up meaning so much more. Since then, movie dates have become one of our favorite traditions, whether it’s a night at AMC or a cozy evening with popcorn and a couch. In February 2025, Austin proposed at the Lincoln Park Conservatory, surrounded by flowers in full bloom. When Sam said yes, we turned around to find our families waiting nearby to celebrate, making an already unforgettable moment even sweeter. Now, we’re counting down the days until we get to say “I do” — and we couldn’t be more excited to celebrate this next chapter with all of you, the people who have been part of our story every step of the way.
