Our Wedding

In the bustling college town of Columbus, Ohio, a lacrosse stick and a pasta dinner set the stage for a love story. Kate was on the Capital Lacrosse team with Brooke, who just happened to be Austin’s sister. Their paths crossed many times at lacrosse games, usually with a crowd of friends and a lot of laughs. Once more their paths crossed on what became a very special evening as Kate, inspired by a mutual lack of funds and a desire to impress, invited Austin over for a homemade pasta dinner. Little did they know, this modest meal would become a cornerstone of their relationship. With neither of them able to afford a fancy date, their culinary adventures began — some successful, others... let’s just say memorable. After Austin graduated from Ohio State, he made the move to Florida for work, while Kate stayed in Columbus, aiming for optometry school. Despite the miles, their love grew stronger. They made the most of their little time together with frequent weekend trips, exploring new cuisines and restaurants, and occasionally still making a homemade pasta dinner. Every moment spent together, no matter how brief, was a treasured escape from the daily grind. One summer, Kate joined Austin in Panama City Beach, where they experienced the joys of beach life and shared a taste of living together before she moved to Chicago for optometry school. This short stint near the ocean was filled with sun, sand, and unforgettable moments. After five years of long-distance love, Austin knew the perfect way to propose. In June 2023, as the sun set over Panama City Beach, he popped the question, marking the beginning of their next chapter together.&nbsp;From cooking experiments that often resulted in hilarious kitchen disasters to cheering on their favorite teams at sporting events — including the infamous Browns game where Myles Garrett made headlines — their journey has been filled with laughter and love. Their dynamic is a charming mix of Austin’s laid-back style and Kate’s love for schedules and planning. Despite their long-distance relationship, they cherished every weekend trip, every meal out, and every little moment spent together. Austin and Kate can't wait to celebrate this moment with you in June! Join them as they look forward to a future filled with more adventures, more laughs, a little more pasta, and a lot more love!
