On October 22, 2021, Marie messaged Austin this single, life-altering word through an unnamed dating platform 🐝:

“CORGI”

A week later, they met for cocktails and roasted Brussels sprouts, where they discovered they were both Scorpios, which meant the relationship was either destined for greatness or absolute chaos. Thankfully, it was the former.

Two years, five furbabies, and endless dad jokes later, Austin proposed at a scenic waterfall, cleverly opting for a very high ledge where Marie couldn’t easily say no (you know, because of the implication). Now, they’re making it official, and you’re invited to witness the joyful aftermath.
