Austin and I have been through so many ups and downs these past few years. We honestly never thought we would get to this point. Marriage is honestly something I don't think either of us saw on our 2024 bingo card. It just kind of happened like everything else does with us.


There was nothing typical about the way we met. We matched on Tinder in May of 2021. It was definitely not your kiss a lot of frogs and hope to find your prince charming and was more of a swipe right and hope for the best kind of situation.


Our first date was in the Walmart parking lot after both of us had gotten off of work before we headed home for the night. We sat and talked in his car for maybe 15 minutes before both of us headed out. I still remember everything about that night and the butterflies he gave me.


After we met, we became inseparable. We moved in together after about 2 weeks. But when you know, you know.
