Our story began at Washington College on the very first night of our freshmen year. We instantly connected and became close friends. After about a year of friendship, we finally realized it was only a matter of time. We officially became a couple in March of 2015. After graduating from Washington College in 2017, we spent two years living in different cities. Austin moved to Philadelphia for pharmacy school and Melanie became a teacher in Baltimore. When we were tired of the two-hour drive to see each other every. single. weekend, Melanie decided to move to Philadelphia where we spent the next three years. After surviving the pandemic during our first year living together, we knew we would be just fine! We are now living with our beloved pup, Vince, in our first house together and we can't wait to celebrate the beginning of our next chapter!
