Ariel and Austin’s story began in February 2024. Austin often jokes about how many times he had to ask Ariel out before they finally went on their first date on February 18th, 2024. The evening was a perfect blend of dinner and axe throwing, where they instantly connected!

After a few months together, Austin visited Ariel's parents to ask for her father’s blessing. Soon after, on September 21st, 2024, Austin proposed, and Ariel said yes! Although things moved quickly, they felt sure of their decision to spend their lives together.

Ariel and Austin exchanged vows on October 18th, 2024, with a small, intimate ceremony held at Ariel's great-grandparents' house—a special way to honor her family and involve her grandparents. Ariel and Austin are now looking forward to a larger celebration in October 2025, marking one year since their first “I do.”
