Shalyn and Austin met on a family camping trip when they were just fifteen years old. Ten years later, after breaking up, moving schools, growing up, and getting jobs, the two reconnected over MySpace out of the blue when Shalyn happened to be talking about her high school sweetheart with a friend at work.  Austin then used the opportunity at a friend’s wedding in Hawaii to make Shalyn his fiancé. He had asked everyone’s permission to do so and had gotten their blessing and encouragement. Their wedding theme was Fire and Ice, and the contrasting details came together for a beautiful ceremony and reception that reflected the bride and groom so perfectly.

Advice from Shalyn & Austin Waits
Put a basket of
quick fixes in the restrooms with things like safety pins, band-aids,
hair pins, etc. You’d hate for a guest to leave because of something
that could have been remedied with something as simple as a safety pin.
