Our Story

Back To The Very Beginning

It all began on spring break in Gulf Shores, Alabama. We met through mutual friends and we discovered playing corn hole, that we share the same birthday. Through all the smiling and laughing there was an instant connection. We went home as friends.
Then about a year later, we attended the same party and the excitement we felt for each other in Alabama returned. We went out on a couple dates following the party, and we found out that we had similar beliefs/thoughts/ideas about the future. Through talking and laughing, we fell in love pretty quickly and wanted to start working towards making all our dreams come true. In the last four years, a lot has happened and we are ready to make it official.
Taylor got down on one knee, on the same beach we met on, and asked for my hand in marriage a year ago. We can’t wait to share our love for each other for the rest of our lives. God has blessed us with so much so far, as our families merge together, and we are looking forward to what He has planned for us next.
