With sincere gratitude and appreciation, we thank you for your personal contribution into our lives, both separately and together. We invite you to share this special day with us not lightly, but with deep thought for how you have impacted our lives in the past. We wish that you will be able to attend our celebration on November 6, but we understand if you cannot. We ask that you just keep us in your thoughts and prayers as we embark on this new journey called "marriage" together.

This is us . . . This is the story of Tiffany Taylor and Brentic Richardson, how we met, our friendship, our love, and the proposal.

My Childhood - I was born on December 30 in the Westmoreland parish of Jamaica. If you let my Mom tell it, I was an unruly toddler. I like to think I was independent, adventurous, and a little feisty. After moving to the U.S., I grew up in Orlando, Florida with my little sister, Tiara. I loved hanging out with my friends. I ran track and played the clarinet in middle school and high school. I also played in the marching band. I stayed with my grandparents just about every weekend. I started working when I was 16 when I got a job in the mall. I thought I had it made when I landed a position at Wet Seal and got an employee discount. Most of the time, however, I worked at The Children's Place. My grandfather taught me to drive and I shuffled around town in his old school Cadillac.

Adulting - I attended Florida State University for undergrad where I received my B.S. in Criminology. While there, I joined a sisterhood and became a member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. I got my first car, Champagne, who carried me around for years. After undergrad, I attended Emory University School of Law in Atlanta, Georgia where I received my J.D. I am a tried and true Capricorn: analytical, hardworking, a tad stubborn, and somewhat OCD. After law school, I lived in Brunswick, GA for a short stint while working as a public defender. In 2016, I moved to Albany, GA where I met Brentic.

Even as a child I've always been known as a very outgoing person. My friends and loved ones say I never meet a stranger. I grew up in Albany, Ga. I'm a PK (Preacher's Kid). My father got called to Pastor a church there and I've been there ever since. Being a PK means you are in a church building more than most so I naturally gravitated towards music because I had to find something to do while I was there. Music is my passion in school. I was always writing songs and poetry or trying to experiment with a new instrument. My mother is an educator at one of the local colleges. From her I picked up my love of sharing knowledge with others and a desire to help them reach their goals. This led to me receiving a Music Education Degree from Albany State University.

Growing up with only one sister and little family in the town, I always valued the time I got to spend with my late grandparents and a host of cousins, aunts, and uncles. I'm always looking forward to the next big family get together.

My hobbies include hanging with my friends, grilling, podcasting and gaming. I'm also a tad bit of a political nerd.

HERstory - We met in an empty apartment in June 2016 in Albany, GA. Brentic was viewing the apartment when I walked in. I had absolutely no idea someone else was in the apartment because I had just gotten the keys from the owner. So I was completely shocked when I saw Brentic. My only thought was I hope he’s not a killer. In what I now know as true Brentic form, he started asking me questions about my background and where I went to school. I had on a FSU t-shirt and he is a huge fan of the football team. He tried to hit on me but I shut that down. We joked and talked trash about the apartment that was absolutely filthy. He was cordial and we exchanged contact information and went our separate ways.

We were friends for a year and a half before we started dating in March 2018. During that time period we developed a strong friendship. I was new to the Albany area and Brentic welcomed me into his church family and his family. We built our friendship over talking about our relationships, work, life, and other things we were experiencing. We frequently gathered together to watch our favorite TV shows like Game of Thrones and Insecure. Brentic was #TeamLawrence and I was #TeamIssa. One day we were watching TV and I wanted to watch a different show. I asked him for the remote to change the channel and Brentic tells me I can’t have the remote because that comes with the girlfriend package...*insert eye roll.* Needless to say, his silly charm worked because I opted to upgrade my package. Since then, we’ve been going strong. Brentic is kind, caring, loving, and always looking out for me. In many ways we are complete opposites, but someone’s strengths compliments the other’s weaknesses. So we work well together to build a healthy relationship.

HIStory - Yeah........... What she said.
