Our Wedding

Mackenzie and Austin’s story began in the most modern way possible—on Facebook—thanks to a rather unusual strategy. After dreaming of marrying a “Mackenzie,” Austin took fate into his own hands, adding every Mackenzie with mutual friends in hopes of finding the one. It wasn’t long before he stumbled upon Mackenzie Thompson and was instantly drawn to her love of food and cars. His pursuit began subtly—liking her posts and casually inviting her to the local car show he ran. But Mackenzie had no clue he was interested… until she spotted him on Tinder. She swiped right. It was a match. But Austin’s first message? “I’m bored, what’s up?” Not exactly the smoothest opener. Unsurprisingly, Mackenzie left him on read until the next day. Despite the rocky start, she tried to get him to visit her at work, but Austin hesitated. Eventually, she took matters into her own hands and asked him out. He agreed to dinner and, in true gentleman fashion, became the first man to pick her up at her front door. From that moment on, they were inseparable, building a life together over the past nine years. And all we can say is… it’s about damn time!
