Wedding Day

Our Wedding

We met at a bible study in Winston-Salem sometime around September of 2018. The way I remember one of our first interactions is Taylor accidentally laughing when Taylor found out I lived with our parents at a game night with our friends. That was my only memory of Taylor for awhile. We occasionally saw each other in group settings and in bible study over that next year and that is about it. Then in October of 2019 everything shifted. A group of us were going to the fair and I happened to wear my leather jacket. When I got to Taylor's apartment (where we were all meeting), one of out friends casually suggested to Taylor that I wanted to ride on his motorcycle because I wore my leather jacket. I was surprised by this comment but said "Let's do it!" and Taylor said "ok!" We rode on the motorcycle together and Taylor now tells me that is when he started to think I was "cool." We hung out more and more over the next couple months and on December 5, 2019 we went on our first date to Hops Burger Bar. In February 2020, Taylor moved back to Asheville and we did long distance until I moved to Asheville the following August. (The pandemic was a blessing for us in this because we both worked from home and were able to spend a longer amount of time together than just the weekends.) On April 5, 2021, Taylor proposed on the Emerald Pools trail in Zion National Park and I said yes! We have had so much fun together while dating and engaged and cannot wait to continue to love one another and grow together after marriage!
