Our Wedding

Austin and Sami met when they had both moved to Greenville, SC from their home states Maryland and California. Our first date was at Wild Wing (which if you know Austin, you know he was showing me exactly what I was getting into). Our relationship started off slow as we became the best of friends, and would spend every weekend watching Clemson Football ( I coincidentally became a huge football fan lol GO TIGERS!) and sharing pitchers of Blue Moon together. We soon became inseparable, spending every day together. After 5 long months, Austin FINALLY asked me to be his girlfriend at Carolina Ale House (again, very on-brand for him) on November 23, 2019. As we all know a few month later was COVID. We decided to quarantine at Austin's dads lake house for a whole month while we waited out the shut downs and had the best times. We have the most amazing memories at the Lake House. From quarantining to countless holiday weekends, going fishing on the boat, and of course, our ENGAGEMENT. On July 1, 2022 Austin asked me to marry him. It was the most special day surrounded with all of our friends and family at one of the most special places to us. And then right after our engagement at the end of July, we moved into our first home together!
