As most of you know, Jill and I are alumni of the University of Massachusetts in Amherst. Funny enough, that is not where we met; however, I am sure we passed each other more than once walking through the campus from class to class.

Instead, we found each other in a small restaurant called the Munich Haus. Jill did not stand a chance when she saw me in my lederhosen and my knee-high socks! She caught my eyes in her pink dirndl and that beautiful smile of hers.

After that moment, the rest was history and we started spending every second together getting to know each other and falling in love.

Though our journey together took unexpected turns neither one of us planned, we could not be any happier with the path we took that only made us stronger. From moving from Southwick to Manchester to Westfield and finally settling in Wilbraham within a few years, to having our handsome and bundle of energy son, Callan, while Jill was finishing up her last semester at college, and now our beautiful daughter, Sadie, coming in the next few months. It was a roller coaster of a journey, but it only made us appreciate each other more and more.

Now, we take the biggest moment together in our relationship by tying the knot and becoming Mr. and Mrs. Taylor. We cannot wait to celebrate this moment with the people who mean the most to us in our lives.
