It all started with footsies under the table in 8th grade... In 2015, at Azle Jr. High School, two little nerds caught the attention of one another. A supervised movie date to "The Martian" on November 14th, 2015 was all it took for these two to become inseparable.

Peyton originally asked Taylor out over a text message, just as many middle school relationships start...

...but Taylor forced him to ask her dad on January 8th, 2016, as Taylor thought it was customary as well as a funny thing to do. Homecoming proposals followed and unfortunately, the Azle Dairy Queen, where he asked her, is now torn down, but the memory will always make them laugh years later.

As time went by, many memories were created from sports games, trips and dates. On this day, after a long time, Peyton and Taylor shared their first kiss in the laser tag room at Main Event. It was a long time coming! But what is funnier is that someone had dye their hair blonde for their baseball playoffs...

Later in 2018, Taylor ended up moving to the other side of the country with her family. But, 1,000 miles couldn't keep these two apart. The time away from each other consisted of many FaceTime calls that normally ended in them falling asleep on the phone together. Taylor ended up visiting Texas during her spring break and although the visit was short, they were destined to make the long distance relationship work.

On this day, Peyton took Taylor up, high in the sky, for the fist time as a pilot. Peyton received his private pilots license shortly before this date, as becoming an airline pilot has always been his lifelong dream. He is on track today to fly for Southwest Airlines and the two have supported each others dreams since the beginning of their relationship.

After lots of prayer, Taylor moved back to Texas with her family and their love was locked forever at this point. The two went to concerts together, fun lake days, football games and many more cute dates upon her return.

Peyton and Taylor continued to be each others homecoming dates and had the best time with friends at the football games together, whether that be screaming in the stands or taking pictures to capture the memories. Taylor found her second love for photography, but her favorite part of it all was looking in the stands to see the love of her life, both supporting each other as always.

Peyton and Taylor graduated high school together with the class of 2020, both with honors in their academics, sports and hobbies. They overcame a huge obstacle together pushing through the Covid-19 pandemic, not even knowing if they would get to graduate together. But hey, God's timing is always right.

A pandemic couldn't stop these two though! They visited Florida with Taylor's family and enjoyed their first vacation together. Peyton even got to go to Disney for the first time. This is just the beginning of many more trips to come.

After starting college, in Taylor's second year, she decided to move to Oklahoma and attend Southeastern Oklahoma State University with Peyton. The two had to be together. In the summer of 2022, Peyton an Taylor took their first vacation alone together and returned to the beach. It was a vacation to remember.

In late April of 2023, Peyton and Taylor started living together, taking a big step in their relationship together and finally having a place to call home together.

Once again, Taylor and Peyton visited the beaches of Florida again- but this time, the time had finally come. In their little AirB&B after a wonderful day of good food and sand between their toes, Peyton and Taylor slow danced in the room together and as he spun her around, Peyton got down on one knee proposing to her and promising to love her forever. Of course she said YES! The Lord above definitely made this a trip to remember.
