Autumn and Nolan's love story started when they first met at a party hosted by a mutual friend. They locked eyes a little longer than normal but went about their separate lives. Little did they know, fate had an alternative plan.

Fast forward three years and Autumn and Nolan were reunited at a party on December 23rd, 2020. Now, the timing was right for Nolan to explore that spark they both initially felt. That is except for a little holiday known as Christmas. Nolan mustered the courage - perhaps mixed with liquid courage to ask Autumn to hang out the next day. She quickly replied "No, tomorrow is Christmas Eve!" To which he said "Ok, what about the next day?" Autumn quickly reminded him that the day following was Christmas Day - another no! They did, however, settle on hanging out a few days later.

They had their first date at Bonefish before the New Year and that's when Autumn began to break all her "dating rules". Starting with a ski vacation for Valentine's Day as Nolan had already declared them boyfriend and girlfriend! After the trip, they officially started dating and that's where the real story begins.

Skiing gave Nolan a glimpse into his future, and he loved it. Carrying Autumn's skis off the mountain, patiently listening to her say how she's never going skiing again, led to many future similar occurrences...carrying her across hot sand, carrying her when her heels were too high, and carrying she across water to avoid getting her hair wet!

Both their families and friends felt the connection and knew this relationship was going somewhere. And boy did it go! On September 14th, the day before Autumn's birthday, they learned they would together create a family. On April 27th, 2022, a few weeks earlier than expected and the best day of their lives, they welcomed the most precious baby boy Baylor!

Autumn and Nolan's love is kind and patient as a couple. And wow, has it amplified raising precious Baylor! They work together with incredible grace and each steps in for the other as together their strengths are even better.

Autumn and Nolan made it official with a beautiful engagement on December 11th, 2022. It was a magical moment shared with Baylor and both sets of parents under the sparkling Christmas lights when Autumn said YES!
