Our Wedding

Meghan and Taylor met as many young couples do in the era of social media, crowded bars, and a dating scene that often consists of limitless left and right swipes… on a dating app. In a bustling city known for its sunny weather and beaches, full of quaint bruncheries and water-front cafes, their first date came at a Glory Days Bar and Grill where its most attractive feature could be best-described as “open for business” in the throes of COVID. Taylor was a Buccaneers beat writer who was working at a restaurant on nights and weekends for extra cash while Meghan was consumed with the stress of studying for her board exams en route to a career as a physical therapist. It didn’t take him long to fall for Meghan, regularly asking himself what his dad asked the first time he mentioned that he was dating someone who had recently graduated with her doctorate…&nbsp; “What in the world is she doing with you?” But Meghan’s fall didn’t come so quickly. Her studying was the most important thing in her world at the moment. She was busy, and couldn’t hang out past 8 p.m. She, “couldn’t commit to a relationship right now.” But upon passing her exams and taking the first steps into her career, it wasn’t long before, “so what are we?” popped up on Taylor’s phone. Since then, their love has only grown. From a first date in May of 2020, to the first, “I love you,” in February of 2021, to “will you marry me?” in January of 2024, Meghan and Taylor have grown together, navigating life’s challenges and celebrating its joys side-by-side. Meghan has begun her career, Taylor has entered a new one. They’ve laughed and loved, traveled, grown together and carved out the foundations of their lives together. As they look forward to their wedding day, Meghan and Taylor are excited to continue building a life together. They are grateful for the support of their families and friends who have been there with them through every step of the way and eagerly await the day when they can say “I do” surrounded by those they cherish most.
