Austin and Johnna were engaged on June, 18 2011, at Modern Woodman Park in Davenport, IA. Johnna was told by her work (Pints Davenport) she had to throw out the first pitch at the Quad City River Bandits game as advertising promotion for the business. Austin told Johnna he was unable to make it because of his hectic work schedule. Johnna was a little upset that Austin couldn't make it to the game, but she was understanding, and went down to the game with some friends from work to cheer her on. In the beginning of the clip, Johnna is sitting with her boss, Jay, who is on the field with her right before she throws the pitch. Then, Johnna throws the pitch from the mound, and is unaware that Austin is the catcher! He eventually catches the ball, meets Johnna at the mound and takes of his mask to reveal his identity! He then bends down on one knee and asks Johnna for her hand in marriage! Johnna screams in the microphone "YES!" she then looks up surprised to see about 50 friends and family members in a box suite cheering for them! Johnna and Austin then join all their friends and family for food, drinks, and fun as they watch a great game of baseball for the duration of the evening. In the video Austin's brother has a wig and mustache on to disguise himself, he is the one who hands Austin the ring, and holds the microphone. It was the best day of their lives until there wedding day next year. Special thanks to Meegan at Siebke and Hoyt for the beautiful diamond!
