In the summer of 2018, Taylor joined the staff at a local barbecue restaurant where Jay was already working. Sparks flew almost instantly as they developed secret crushes on each other. During quiet moments at work, Jay would sneak bits of brisket to Taylor, while she would linger by the door just to steal one last goodbye before heading home.

Fast forward to October, when a coworker invited them both to Recovery Room, a cozy dive bar. What was supposed to be a group outing turned into an unexpected one-on-one as the coworker and his friends mysteriously vanished, leaving just Jay and Taylor to chat and laugh the night away.

By mid-November, their connection deepened on what would become their second official date. In a moment that felt both exhilarating and nerve-wracking, Jay asked Taylor to be his girlfriend. She said yes. Weeks later, neither could remember the exact date this happened. They agreed to celebrate their anniversary on November 15th.

As time went on, however, they became notorious for forgetting their special day. On November 19th, 2021, Jay called Taylor, bracing himself. “Please don’t be mad, but I forgot our anniversary.” Taylor burst out laughing. “Oh my god, I forgot too!” And so it went—almost every year, their anniversary slipped their minds.

On December 23rd, 2023, Jay turned a moment of laughter into something unforgettable when he proposed to Taylor. They decided to tie the knot on November 15th, ensuring that from then on, they would always remember their anniversary.

Cheers to Jay and Taylor!
