It all started in 2019 at our best friends’ wedding. Ed had the honor of walking Taylor down the aisle, but at the time, Taylor just thought he was a cute “frat bro” — too much of one, in fact. She was in another relationship, so there wasn’t much to it. But looking back now, they like to joke that they were just practicing for their own turn down the aisle.

Fast forward to September 2021, when Ed came to the rescue to help their friend Ryan move cross-country to Fort Lauderdale. Taylor was single, and let’s just say she she was ready to get re-acquainted with Ed that weekend. After a day filled with Miller Lites, helping Ryan and Sara move into storage, and belting out "Dicked Down in Dallas" on repeat, things took an unexpected turn. The two shared their first kiss, spent the evening dancing through the streets of Fort Lauderdale Beach, and ended up watching Shrek in the wee hours of the morning.

But life, distance, and other things got in the way, and their story didn’t quite start there.
