How they met:
They met when Austin came to town and
got an apartment across the hall from Carrie. He was playing his
music very loudly, so she went over to ask him to turn it down. After
she got a look at him, she decided it didn't really matter.
Special Place: Green Mountain Lodge, where they first made love
Special Events: Christmas, 1992. Austin told Carrie about all of his
collectable jazz records which he didn't have a record player for.
Carrie showed Austin a diamond earring that John had given her for an
earlier Christmas present. She had to pawn one of them at one time to
pay the rent. Austin sold his record collection to buy the earring
back for Carrie, while Carrie sold her other earring to buy a record
player for Austin. That same Christmas, Austin played Carrie's
favorite song for her on a keyboard at the family Christmas at Roman
and Marlena's house.
Special items: Austin once gave Carrie a tropical flower. Carrie said
as long as she had it she would never be afraid of losing him. Austin
gave Carrie a heart necklace on their two-month anniversary in Feb.
1993. Austin gave Carrie a promise ring at the Cheatin' Heart-making
them "engaged to be engaged." Austin brought Carrie a red rose the
night they went to Wings, their first date. She once gave him an
album of Curtis Reed's, after he said he didn't have one.
