Our story

We met at Winstock Music Festival—at a time when neither of us was looking for anything serious. We were just doing our own thing, soaking up the music and good vibes. That weekend, Taylor somehow got assigned to be my babysitter… and he’s been stuck with me ever since! From the beginning, I wanted to take things slow. For a while, I even referred to Taylor as my “special friend,” which my amazing (and very amused) friends never let me live down. They already knew what I would soon realize: Taylor was something really special. Fast forward to 2023—after growing together, making memories, and falling more in love—we bought a home and moved in that November. Then, on December 15th, I came home to Taylor declaring that we had to have ice cream cake that night. With my mom, my brother, and my son Walter there, he asked me to cut the cake. I opened the box, and there it was: “Will you marry me?” written across the top. I turned around to find Taylor down on one knee. And the best part? He had also gotten a necklace for Walter to give me, so he could be part of such a special moment. It was sweet, thoughtful, and so perfectly us. We can’t wait to start this next chapter as a family.
