Our Story
How We Met
Like all modern romances, ours began with a swipe. Our first, first date was at a local brewery. Having both lived abroad and explored many countries, we instantly bonded over stories of our adventures, the quirks of different cultures, and, of course, which countries had the best (and worst) food.
Despite our connection, life took us in different directions, and we ended up parting ways for a year.
Fast forward to round two, when we both happened to get new puppies—Sam and Ruby. Naturally, we had to take them on a playdate, and just like that, we had our second, first date. This time, we all hit it off immediately—two humans, two puppies, and one undeniable connection.
The Proposal
The REAL Cracker Jack Prize!
Austen has always known the way to Kailee's heart—through food. One of her favorite snacks? Cracker Jacks.
On what seemed like an ordinary night, Austen offered to cook up a delicious dinner, as he casually handed her a perfectly ordinary bag of Cracker Jacks. Or so she thought.
What Kailee didn’t realize was that this particular bag contained a prize far beyond the usual sticker or flimsy paper riddle. As Austen cooked dinner, she slowly munched away, taking her time, completely unaware of what was to come.
Minutes passed. Then more minutes. Austen watched—waiting, waiting—until finally, she found it.
“Babe, it’s a REAL prize!” she gasped, genuinely believing the Cracker Jack company had seriously stepped up their game. Still unsuspecting, she eagerly unwrapped the small, perfectly crafted prize… and froze.
Inside, attached to a handwritten note that read "Will you marry me?" was a diamond ring.
She turned, wide-eyed, only to find Austen down on one knee.
After a moment of complete shock—followed by a big laugh—she said YES.
