Our Wedding

"I would say thinking back and growing up, you have all of these relationships. Some amount to very little, some aren't fun, but some are everything you wanted. Well, come to find out, Hailea would be my first love at 17 and a love that never left me. After almost a decade apart, by some slim chance, we locked eyes at a basketball game while she was home from graduate school. And well....the rest is history. I made every attempt to show her we could make the distance, from trip after trip to see her, to becoming a couple again. Here we are, almost two years later and engaged. The hardest yet easiest question of my life led us here....moved her back home, building a house, and planning a wedding." - Austin
