In 2022, Erin and Austen attended the same show in New York City where they passed like ships in the night. Soon after, they matched on Hinge like ships swiping right. The midwestern transplants bonded over their love of theater, music, and their work in the law. After a “hoot and a half” in NYC, they landed in Minnesota and moved in together… along with a confident corgi named Peanut and a terrified bronx alley cat named Judge Judy. In December of 2024, Erin and Austen got engaged and started planning the rest of their lives together! They enjoy hosting dinner parties, brunches, and game nights for friends and family, and can’t wait to see you at their wedding.
