Wedding Day

Our Wedding

How We MetLike any modern-day fairytale, it all started on TikTok. One day, Kelsea was scrolling when she came across a video of this cute guy — and after some encouragement from her mom, she decided to shoot her shot. She slid into his DMs with the bold message, “When’s the wedding?”His quick reply? “It was yesterday, and you missed it.”From there, the two started talking… and depending on who you ask, one of them may have temporarily ghosted the other. But eventually, Kelsea thought, “Maybe I should give him a chance.” And from that moment on, it was history.

The First DateTheir first date was nothing short of memorable. Austin’s truck broke down the day he was supposed to drive to Georgia to meet Kelsea for the first time — but instead of canceling, he rented a car and made the trip anyway. Along the way, he picked up her favorite flowers and surprised her when he arrived.They spent the day seeing The Blind, doing a little shopping (where they quickly discovered they share a bit of a shopping problem), and finished the night with one of Austin’s favorite things — stargazing.They drove out to a random piece of land, may or may not have trespassed, and stepped out to admire the stars. That peaceful moment didn’t last long, though — Kelsea got spooked by the dark woods, and the two ended up laughing and screaming their favorite songs all the way home.

The "Official" MomentAfter three months of talking, laughing, and spending time together, Kelsea started to wonder when Austin would finally make things official. One day, right before lunch, the moment finally came - though maybe not in the most romantic setting.In true Austin fashion, he asked Kelsea to be his girlfriend... in the Buffalo Wild Wings parking lot. Let's just say she wasn't exactly impressed and told him no, insisting that wasn't how she pictured the moment going.But later that day, Austin made up for it by asking again - this time in a more thoughtful and intimate way. And that's when Kelsea finally said yes. From that point on, it was officially them.

The ProposalThe night Austin proposed began with what Kelsea thought was a simple family dinner. Her dad told her he wanted to take her mom out somewhere nice and that she should dress up - really fancy. But when she asked where they were going, he admitted he didn't actually know yet. That's when a small part of her started wonder... Could this be it?On the way to dinner, her dad suddenly said they need to make a quick stop at the horse barn because there was an "emergency". It was after hours, and nothing about it made sense, leaving Kelsea confused but curious.As they drove up the hill, Kelsea looked out the window and saw Austin standing under the big oak tree in the pasture. The moment she saw him, she started crying. She got out of the car, walked down to him, and there, beneath the oak tree, he got down on one knee. Kelsea said yes, of course, with no hesitation.But the surprise didn't end there. Austin had gathered all of her closest friends and family at her favorite restaurant, where they ended the night with a celebration full of love, laughter, and margaritas.
