Our Wedding

Our story started in the late summer of 2023. Austin was preparing to move back to Rochester, MN after several years of school and work in California. Sophia had just returned to Rochester from Denmark after a summer of studying abroad. Both of us had reluctantly decided to give the dating app ‘Hinge’ a try. Sophia sent the first ‘like’ and Austin started the conversation. We talked for quite some time, staying up late at night to chat for hours upon hours. Austin decided to book an earlier flight home (unbeknownst to Sophia) so we could have our first date. By October, we made it *official*. Come November, we both knew we had fallen in love. We were both too afraid to tell each other, but at that point we had both already told our friends we knew we were going to marry one another. Our relationship grew stronger as the months went by, while we navigated life as pair. Through every challenge, adventure, and all the ups and downs we have experienced together, we have stayed hand in hand. In December of 2024 we got engaged in Copenhagen. Austin meticulously planned out the most beautiful proposal, in Sophia’s favorite place in the world. We have grown a happy life together, and cannot wait to continue as best friends, and soulmates. We are now excited to celebrate our love and our story with our family and friends on May 24 2026!🤍

Wedding Day Timeline

For our vineyard garden wedding, we ask that guests wear garden formal attire (no denim, please) Beneath the sky, where flowers bloom, We’ll say I do and share the room— Of open air and sun-kissed green, A vineyard garden, pure and serene. But dreams mean little on their own, Without the love we've always known. That’s why your presence means the most, To raise a glass, to laugh, to toast. So join us in this joyful quest, In a garden vineyard, wearing your Sunday’s best. We can't wait to share the view— Our happiest day, made whole by you.
