Taylor and I met at LaGrange College where we both played on the soccer team. It took us a while to connect, going on our first date at the very beginning of Taylor's Senior year. We used to play indoor soccer together during our off-season, both hoping to see each other there and not knowing about our mutual crush. When Taylor asked me to hangout after practice one evening, we truly never stopped. We instantly became best friends. There were loads of Bulls Hibachi dates, cinema, and plenty of fraternity functions. Taylor's Senior year flew by and she was quickly off to Veterinary School in St. Kitts. Four years of long distance and daily FaceTime calls cemented to both of us that we couldn't live without each other. After Taylor's Graduation from Vet School in May of 2022, we soon got engaged at our favorite local vineyard. The vineyard was closed, and Taylor's talented bridesmaid, Sarina, was kind enough to help me plan out the engagement and get photo's captured. We left the vineyard engaged, and arrived home where both our immediate families were waiting for us in celebration.

Taylor is currently working at her family's Animal Hospital in Hiawassee, GA, and I am working in Accounting and as an assistant coach of the Men's High school soccer team in Hiawassee, GA.

We look forward to starting our next journey of marriage together in search of our first House! We appreciate all of you that have touched and shaped us along the way. We wouldn't be who we are without you. We hope you are able to celebrate with us in person before we head off to our Honeymoon in Portugal!
