Ajla and Seth Ajla and Seth

It started at the Cat's Pajamas Tiki bar in Downtown Austin, when Ajla leaned over and asked Seth if he liked Lana Del Rey, the song playing, not knowing he had no idea what was on. He said yes anyway.

Not long after, Seth was making the thirty-minute drive out to Pflugerville Texas and back, again and again, just to spend a little more time with her, before finally asking her to be his girlfriend.

These days you'll find them getting cappuccinos, watching terrible reality television, and counting down to the next beach trip — which is exactly why, when it came time to celebrate, they wanted to bring the palm trees and the sand to everyone's November.
