Our story began on May 10, 2024, when Rachel — Anna’s older sister and a former co-worker of Austin — set us up on a blind date to a military ball. We hit it off immediately and talked the whole night. Several hours into the evening, I (Anna) called my mom and told her I was going to marry Austin! From there, we started visiting each other on weekends, met each other’s families, moved Austin across multiple states(twice!), and have continued building the most wonderful, love-filled relationship!
