We met at Mardi Gras in Cocoa Village Cocoa, Fl. We were both in high school and went with friends to this event. I (Mallory) saw him standing with friends and went up to him and said "hi". We talked all the way into May. May 4, 2012 Austin asked me to be his Girlfriend while slow dancing to Aerosmith's "I Don't Wanna Miss a Thing"...... Of course I said YES! We dated all through his last year of high school and my last 3 years. We had Connor April 8, 2014, and moved in together July 2014. We have lived together ever since. July 17, 2017 We were on the beach with friends and I turned around and looked back and there he was on one knee asking me to be his wife!! After five years of ups and down and wonderful experiences we decided to commit ourselves to each other for the rest of our lives.
