Baby Taryn was born (yes she is older than Bryan)

Baby Bryan was born (the cutest baby in this entire world but there may be some bias)

What better place to meet than work? Bryan and Taryn met each other when Bryan was an intern and Taryn worked full-time. This is when the crush started for Bryan, but a little more life had to happen until their time would come.

A couple years later, when Bryan was officially a full time employee of Deloitte, Deloitte hosted a golf outing. Somehow by the end of the night it was only Bryan and Taryn left talking over drinks at Renshaw's for hours. At the end of the night, the hug goodbye was one that Taryn will never forget, this was the first hint to Taryn that maybe this was more than just a co-worker. How can it be that golf and the worst bar ever are the beginning of this love story?

This may come as a surprise to some, but the first person to make the move was Taryn. Taryn didn't have Bryan's phone number but she knew his work phone was his only phone (since he lost his personal phone). Taryn dug through her emails to find one from Bryan. In his email he has his signature which included his phone number. She took the phone number and texted him asking him on a date to go tubing down the river in Ann Arbor with a friend (oh and btw they were leaving in an hour). Bryan claimed that timing would be no problem as he was just wrapping up at the gym (little did Taryn know Bryan had just walked into the gym). Bryan quickly enlisted a friend (thanks Champ!) to come along for the ride and so began their first date.

The first kiss happened at Pine Knob Music Theatre while Chris Stapleton performed in the background. Bryan's line he said to Taryn before he leaned in was "this was destined to happen" claiming he knew since his crush began that we would end up together.

Bryan and Taryn finally took their first photo together at a Michigan State tailgate. Bryan and Taryn both went to Michigan State for Accounting (one year apart) but they never knew each during this time (God was smart with his timing).

Bryan and Taryn went on their first trip together, driving in the car for over 6 hours to Madison, Wisconsin with some friends. This is when Taryn learned of Bryan's first red flag (he's a Packers fan).

Bryan and Taryn went to their first Deloitte Christmas party together, letting everyone know they were dating. It's always a good idea to date your co-worker right?

When Taryn and Bryan fell in love with Traverse City, the stunning views, and the vineyards.

Over the many months of COVID, Taryn and Bryan got to know each other very well, working across the kitchen table from each other each and every day. (who couldn't fall in love with that hair?)

Bryan continued to stand by Taryn's side, looking dapper as can be and being such a gentleman

On the cliffs of Sorrento, in the Amalfi Coast of Italy, Bryan asked Taryn to be his forever <3
