I’m sure everyone feels this way but our story feels like it came straight out of a fairytale book - the ones we used to read about as kids. We met in college at the University of Toledo working at the library in the IT department. We were both in relationships when we first met and ironically our first conversation ever was about our weddings style and timeframe - all of the details just not to each other. The two of us were work friends all year long and then summer break came around so we talked about our summer plans and said our goodbyes for the summer.


Fast forward to fall semester we were both single - truly I was confused because the first time I ever met Austin I thought “wow he is such an amazing guy”. My mom will often remind me that I called her and told her all about him and that he was honestly the kind of guy I pictured myself marrying.


After chasing after each other going on roadtrips, meeting family and hanging out with friends I finally broke and told him I had caught feelings for him - I didn’t know what that meant but I definitely realized I liked him more than a friend. Eventually he would wind up telling me he didn’t see a future with me meanwhile I was telling my friends I was going to marry him - guess I was right because four long covid months later he asked me to be his girlfriend and two and a half years later he asked me to be his wife. Here we are four years later planning our dream wedding.


That’s just the half of it but I’ll spare you all the little details - it is honestly wild to think where we were just a few short four years ago - who would have thought we would wind up here at last. It’s a little cliche but he is my dream wrapped into a person and our entire story just feels like the perfect storm - our own little timeless fairytale.
