Our Love Story
Our journey together began Summer of 2019 with a serendipitous encounter—one that set us on the same trail. Since then, our love has grown stronger over 5 years. And with every stride, it's becoming a beautiful story we’re proud to ride into forever.
We met in 2019 at a mutual friend’s house, where sparks flew right away. What began as an instant connection turned into a solid year of friendship before we started dating at the beginning of COVID. At the time, Maryam wasn’t allowed to date, but Austin remained steady, patient, and unwavering.
Through life’s many tests, we found our rhythm—spending long days riding trails and countless hours at the barn which is the very place where the Wedding Ceremony will be. One of our favorite memories is a simple one: slow dancing together in the barn, candlelight glowing over a picnic table, with Panda Express takeout and our hearts completely full.
