Jess & Austin met through the hard work of our favorite wingman, Hinge! Jess had to be encouraged a little bit by friends to start her hinge journey (shout out to Mel, Kelsi and Alyssa!). She started using Hinge in St Louis with no luck, but soon after arriving to Boise.....her luck quickly changed! Austin and Jess first started to talk while Jess started her travel nursing contract in Boise, and right away set a date for the first date at Lost Grove Brewing. Soon after that a second date followed, and another and another until they ended up where they are today!

From Austin and Jess:

Overall we knew pretty early on that we had found something in the other that was special. We love to adventure in all the outdoor sports Boise has to offer. You can see some of our adventures in Idaho and all over the country in the photo section! Our engagement photos were taken at one of our favorite spots- Boise's local ski hill, Bogus Basin! We've each found our adventure buddy, the person to do life with, and we can not be more grateful to God for the other. What we both find most beautiful about the other, is our dedication to God and living his will. Our faith is so very special to us and we are excited to share that with you in the celebration of the Holy Sacrament of Marriage. We see this as the Catholic church does, a holy vocation we have been called to by God, and we can't be more excited to celebrate this calling with each and every one of you. We love you all immensely and can't wait to celebrate!
