The story of how they met changes depending on whether you ask Austin or Maxime. One says through mutual friends, the other insists on going into further detail. To get the best picture, it's best to ask both of them together, and that's their favorite way to tell it, too. They met in the Summer of 2018 in Ann Arbor, MI but ultimately fell in love at Big Bay, MI in the Upper Peninsula (though some speculate it was sooner for Austin). Neither of them knew what would come of their fateful meeting, but it would spiral into countless adventures and an ever-growing love for each other. Early on, there was sunset kayaking, off-the-freeway camping, trips overseas and the memories go on and on. Through it all, they have relied on one other for endless support and are never more content than in each other's presence. They've had to spend a significant time apart, which has been especially challenging but it has made every second they spend together all the more cherished. They each hold visions of a better future in the world, and know that the other will support them endlessly in their pursuits. They're so excited to be celebrating their marriage with all of their loved ones who have contributed to becoming who they are today. They've had so many unforgettable experiences so far, but this has only been the opening chapter, with the rest and best yet to come.
