Our Story Q&A

How did we first meet?

We have been friends since 5th grade. It wasn't until middle school though where we had a couple classes together one year and from there is where things took off. We both have a huge love for video games and at the time we were spending every afternoon after school playing Call of Duty: Black Ops until dinner. Eventually it turned into the forever adventurous relationship we cherish to this day. And yes we still bond over video games even now :)

What are we looking forward to the most in our future together?

We are looking forward the most to buying our first home together and starting the next big chapter in our lives.

What's a tradition you've created that you love?

One tradition that we hold sacred to each other is the premise of saying the phrase, "I promise". When one of us says that, we know there is only truth in what was said before.

What's a challenge you've overcome as a couple?

Our biggest challenge we've overcame as a couple was working through every major milestone, obstacle and stereotype that came with being childhood sweethearts.

What is one of your favorite memories that you love the most?

Patrick: One of my favorite memories will always be in 7th grade when a couple of our friends, her sister and I were going to see a movie on a Friday night. Taylor and her mom were dropping all of us off and I remember sitting behind her in the car. I tapped her on the shoulder to tell her she should come with us to the movies and she had said yes. Years later, she told me how it gave her butterflies and that she overcame her anxiety that night to come hang out for me. I think that is a memory I will always love most.

Taylor: I can't really pick a favorite as I have way too many to put down. However, I've always loved most the picnics and little road trips we've taken over the years. Even if it was something as simple as taking a drive to quik chek, grabbing sammies and eating them on our big rock at Hedden Park or going to the Warren Drive-In movies and setting up blankets and snacks in the trunk of our car :)

If you could describe you relationship in three words, what would they be?

Funny, weird and adventurous <3<3<3
