The Perkins

It all started on Bumble when Austin extended his match with Zoe to last an extra 24 hours, prompting her to message him. A meeting at Dairy Queen in May of 2018 led to a few dates of getting to know each other before the first big question in their relationship happened. July 22, 2018 Austin took Zoe on a date to the Cleveland Art Museum and dinner at Guarino's where he asked her to be his girlfriend. Through the years they have enjoyed creating memories with their family and friends, holiday celebrations, vacations, late night milk shake runs, Cleveland sporting events, and lots of miniature schnauzer love together. Supporting each other through educational endeavors has been huge in their relationship, as since 2018, there has not been a year without one of them enrolled in school. They've grown from 21 year olds about to start their senior year of college to adults working towards building a life together. All of this leads to the next big question of their relationship, which happened on September 23, 2023 when Austin took Zoe back to the Cleveland Art of Museum and proposed at the pond. They are beyond excited to begin their lives together as husband and wife and so grateful to have so many wonderful people in their life that they can celebrate their love with. They cannot wait for July 12th!
