This love story began with an hours-long phone call in the summer of 2013. In October of that year, their relationship became official. Austin graduated from Auburn High School in 2016, Mariah a year later in 2017. It’s safe to say their journey, filled with shared milestones and unforgettable moments, started early on in their lives.

Together, they graduated from Central Washington University in 2020 and embarked on careers in news, first in Spokane and now in Seattle. Austin and Mariah have grown from being carefree kids into a team that supports each other through life’s everyday challenges.

The “magic” of their relationship culminated in a proposal at Disneyland. A day before their 10-year anniversary, Austin asked Mariah to be his forever partner in a place they both hold close to their hearts.

Austin and Mariah can’t wait to celebrate with their closest friends and family on their wedding day as they embark on a lifelong journey together.
