Jonathan and Taylor’s story started at work, where Taylor absolutely refused to entertain Jonathan’s playful flirting. Then one night the shoe was finally on the other foot, and Taylor reached out to Jonathan when she found out they were going to be opening a store together. After a few weeks of talking it became apparent to both that there was a mutual interest and genuine connection. Jonathan being the upstanding gentleman and rule follower that he was told his store manager that he was planning to ask Taylor out on a date. To which she fatefully replied, “what if she says no?!” So Jonathan called Taylor up on the spot and asked her out on a date. From that day on Taylor and her family welcomed Jonathan and his daughter into the clan (meetings held every Saturday all summer long). From cruising the Caribbean to drinks around the world Jonathan and Taylor enjoy a life filled with love, laughter, and a good bit of exaggeration. With Taylor’s father’s blessing, Jonathan proposed to Taylor at Shem Creek in South Carolina in July of 2023. Jonathan, Taylor, and Roni normally end each day with a goodnight kiss, an emotional pre-teen crying, and a smack on the butt.
