Austin pleaded with DeGeneres that she really needs someone to walk her down the aisle because her parents aren’t going to attend her wedding.

"My parents aren’t going to attend my wedding because they don’t like that I’m gay! I need someone to walk me down the aisle and someone else for a “father/daughter” dance," she captioned her engagement photos. 

She added that they will cry if she could come to the wedding. 

Ellen DeGeneres saw the tweet and responded: "See you tomorrow."

DeGeneres invited the couple to her show - and surprised them with a gift.
