Our Wedding

September 16, 2016 - The first date was when Austin asked Natalie to study in one of the main buildings on campus at Albion College. They walked together to one of the main buildings and as they sat down, Natalie started to get out hi all of her homework. Austin smiled and watched on. Natalie asked, “Where is your homework?” Austin simply replied, “I just wanted an excuse to see you again.” From that date forward, Austin and Natalie were inseparable. July 16, 2023 - Austin had asked Natalie the morning of the engagement if she knew when he was going to propose. Who knew Natalie would actually guess that today was the day?! Austin acted calm and simply brushed it off saying that it “could happen today or maybe not at our date night”. Natalie had made a nail appointment for herself JUST IN CASE today was the day but after Austin’s response she was discouraged to go. Austin encouraged Natalie to treat herself so in spite she decided to go to the nail salon. After the nail salon, Austin and Natalie packed their bikes and headed to one of their favorite parks, Lake St. Clair Metropark. When Natalie asked which path they should take, Austin suggested that they bike along the peninsula since they had never been able to do it with the amount of people visiting at the park. Natalie thought it was a great idea and thought nothing more of it. As they were biking, Austin mentioned that they should stop to watch the sail boats. To Natalie’s surprise, when she turned back around from looking at the sail boats there was Austin down on one knee. Austin & Natalie cannot wait to celebrate their love story of almost 8 years together with all of their friends and family on September 14, 2024!
