Once upon a time there was a little boy who played football for the Lamkin Rams and a little girl who was a cheerleader for his team. Unbeknownst to him, she had a major crush on that little cutie pie. He would later move away, and their paths did not cross for another 20 years. He went on to be a golf star in Nacogdoches while she was living it up in the sorority house in Austin. Both enjoying their young adulthood and carving their own paths in the world.

They both went through the trials and tribulations of the dating world. Getting their hearts broken and never quite finding their perfect match. They each decided to give the dating app Hinge a shot and it would forever change their future. Austin had recently moved back to Houston and swiped right on Lindsey immediately. After some encouragement from her friend Sara, Lindsey decided to give love another chance and jump back into the dating pool to swipe right on the man she recognized as the little boy from Lamkin, her third grade crush. She couldn’t let this opportunity pass her by. It was fate bringing them back together.

They met up to watch Thursday night football at McIntyre’s and right away they knew they had something special. The dates kept coming and Austin even introduced Lindsey to his mom after only 2 weeks of seeing each other. That’s when she knew he really liked her, and the way he treated his mama really solidified things for Lindsey. After another 2 weeks they made things official after going to the Houston Open golf tournament together. They met each other’s friends and got the approval from everyone. Austin met Lindsey’s family when she brought him home for Thanksgiving and they could see why she was falling for him. By Christmas she had met all of his family and they told Austin she was a keeper.

The first "I love you" slipped out at Lindsey’s birthday party and by the new year they were inseparable. Austin helped Lindsey through the hardest time of her life, losing her dad, and they grew stronger together. That summer they bought a house and moved back to Cypress where their love story had originated way back in 1999. Austin loved cooking Instagram worthy meals for "his lady" while she was busy tending to her plants and making their house a home. They celebrated their one year anniversary in October and over the next six months everyone was anticipating their engagement.

On Easter weekend they took a trip to Austin, Tx. When they got into town Austin had a nice dinner planned at Lindsey’s dad’s favorite restaurant, Eddie V’s. They stayed at The Line hotel and Austin had an Easter egg hunt themed photo tour planned for that Saturday. Lindsey woke up early in anticipation of the day and did a morning yoga class to calm her jitters. She had a feeling it was going to be a special day. They met up with their photographer and spent the day driving all over Austin getting the best views and snapshots. They started with lunch at the Oasis, followed by visiting Mt. Bonnell, the Capitol and concluding at the Four Seasons hotel. Each egg had a clue to where their next stop was. When they got to the last stop Austin took Lindsey by the hands and popped the question. She gave a resounding "Yes" and adored the engagement ring he had made for her with family diamonds from both of their mothers. They then headed to ATX Cocina for dinner and were surprised by all of their family throwing them an engagement party! It was the cherry on top of the perfect day!

Since that day they have been planning the next special occasion and cannot wait to get married at Iron Manor in May and celebrate with their friends and family. From that day forward they will live happily ever after!

Thank you for thinking of us on our special day!
