Our Wedding

My love is a pine tree, that's the only tree that's true. 

While our paths crossed more times than we are aware, we first met in 2020, when we started working together at Stoney Creek Social Media.&nbsp; We found out a couple of years later that we actually had one of the same marketing classes together at Western Michigan University (Go Broncos!) Funny enough, we don't remember each other from class. But things always work out how they're supposed to and our journey was just meant to start a little later. Our relationship was simple: best friends. You hear about it, but never realize in the moment it's as easy as that. As coworkers, we learned how to work together and communicate, but most of all, we learned how much we enjoy each other's company. Now, for those of you who don't know the real story... apparently, there was always a "long game" in place for Austin, which entailed how someday we would end up dating and spend our lives together... Ask any of his friends, and they'll be able to tell you that the "long game" was a plan they were all familiar with. Natalie claims she was oblivious that he had secretly liked her for quite a while.&nbsp; Well, Austin wasn't wrong. We ended up dating for two years and had endless talks about the future, our goals, and dreams. We visited multiple states together and got to experience some of the most beautiful places and attend some amazing and unique events. From concerts to bull riding, Lions games to Tigers games, Bassmaster Classics to the Talladega 500, to spending time on the boat, exploring new and favorite coffee shops and enjoying time with family, friends, and our sweet (to us!) puppy, Nala. After being blessed to travel to so many places, we decided it was time to explore our own state. We headed up north to Munising, Michigan, a place neither of us had been before. And now it's a special spot where we got engaged and one we look forward to visiting again. We've enjoyed all the seasons of life leading up to this point (including duck and deer season), and can't wait for the next one as soon-to-be husband and wife.&nbsp; See you all soon!&nbsp; Austin &amp; Natalie
