Hello family and friends, Ariana Brown and Jared Taylor here! We would love to give you all a glimpse into our relationship. Ariana was born in Upland, California, and Jared was born in Fort Worth, Texas. We currently reside in our first beautiful home in Texas, with our two dogs, Smoke and Snoop. We have been together since 2013, and Jared proposed on December 31, 2022, at the Gaylord Texan in Grapevine, Texas.

Our story began through mutual friends and our first conversation on social media when Jared wished me a happy birthday a day late LOL. While he was beginning his freshman year in college and I was finishing my senior year in high school, our favorite memory of getting to know each other was sending each other mini video blogs (vlogs) of our days. Our first date was at Sushi Sam, where I introduced Jared to sushi for the first time and ended with a movie. From the video blogs and the first date to our first home, these ten years have been filled with adventures, love, fun, and excitement!

"Jared Taylor, from our first conversation to our first date, I knew you were someone special. And when you smile and those beautiful dimples appear, it lights up the room. I have decided to marry you for many reasons. I get butterflies knowing I will be walking down the aisle in less than a year to begin the next chapter of our lives together. I am confident that I have found an amazing partner to have by my side. I am looking forward to our first dance as Mr. and Mrs. Taylor and the many adventures and experiences that come with being newlyweds. I can’t wait to call you my husband!" ~ Ariana

"Ariana Brown, my sweet, caring, and loving fiancé! I am beyond blessed to have you in my life. Everything about you is so pure and genuine, and to see your hard work and dedication day in and day out means so much to me. From when we first met to now, I still have that feeling deep down inside that brings me a big smile and strength. You keep a pep in my step, and I thank the Lord for blessing the world with you!" ~ Jared

We are so excited for you to join us as we say "I do" on March 2, 2024! See you soon!
