They met through some friends, right after Taylor moved up to Alaska with the Air Force. Taylor was at Bosco's comics and game shop, while Amber was at another event. While having a group hangout at Amber's place, Taylor was invited over. They went on their first date about two weeks later, to a local theater to watch Bus Stop and then drove around for hours just talking and getting to know each other. They clicked from the get go, without looking back. When Taylor (finally) asked Amber to be his wife, it was on the banks of the beautiful Matanuska River, summer of 2019 while on a camping trip with friends.
