Our Story

Our first semi-formal together

Kaden asked Taylor to his fraternity semi-formal as "just friends" - March 2022

Our first date

Picture of Our first date

Kaden finally worked up the courage and asked Taylor on a date! We went to "his spot" to watch the sunset, eat sushi, and watch the ranch in the bed of his truck. The date got cut short because a van pulled up next to us and we got scared, so we left lol. As Kaden was dropping Taylor off at home, he surprised her with a succulent he had planted with his grandma!

Meeting the family!
