Wedding Day

Our Wedding

In May of 2021, a few mutual work friends introduced Betsy and Taylor after concocting the idea they’d be a cute “IT Couple” match, even though they worked for different companies. After exchanging a few messages, Taylor invited Betsy to a Dallas Mavericks basketball game as their first date. Little did he know, Betsy was more excited for the arena hot dogs than for a sports matchup, but she accepted. They left that game with matching Luka Dončić jerseys, full stomachs, and excitement for many more dates to come. Within months, the relationship bloomed with the signs of something serious. By December of that year, Taylor had already become an honorary member of Betsy’s family, and was invited to join for his first family vacation to Cartagena, Colombia. It was there that Taylor became “one of the brothers” to Betsy’s six sisters and three brothers in law. The Sadler-Johnson family left that trip with the first hopes that a proposal and marriage would be coming in the future. Over the following three years, Betsy and Taylor’s lives began to integrate more completely. Taylor became “dad” to Betsy’s puppy, Georgie, and likewise, Betsy was “mom” to Taylor’s good boy Maverick. Taylor has learned more about hair, makeup, and fashion than he ever knew he wanted to know in life, and Betsy’s become quite the sports fanatic, with her very own championship-level fantasy football team to prove it. They’ve joined for more family vacations with each of their families including Orange Beach, Disney World, and Port Aransas, as well as numerous trips with their now integrated friend groups for weddings and birthday celebrations over the years. In November of 2024, Taylor popped the big question in Central Park, New York City, on a trip accompanied by Taylor’s parents, Jeremy and Kellie Leger, as well as Betsy’s mom and step-dad, Russ and Mandy Johnson. Family and friends were all on standby to celebrate the big announcement: Taylor had officially asked Betsy to become Leger. We’re excited to have you all join us as we mark the occasion with vows, dinner, and dancing, surrounded by all of our closest family and friends.
