In June of 2019, Taylor was ready to get out and socialize after traveling from back East for her brother Clarke's wedding. She decided to get dinner with her friends J-Walk and Chris and unbeknownst to her, Chris had invited Matthew as well. Dinner was at a local Mexican place called D'La Santas and they had an instant connection. Taylor knew nothing about Matthew, and soon learned he was from the East Coast as well, and had a brother who was soon to be married. A lot in common for just meeting! The duo decided to share tacos (easiest decision ever) and enjoyed the first of many meals to come. J-Walk made a comment along the lines of "Gosh, I just feel like we are witnessing y'alls first date". She was right about that! Taylor and Matthew hit it off that evening and became inseparable from that moment on. With the rest of the summer season ahead of them, the sunny days brought brunches and day dates that lasted for hours, and walks around Seattle that never lacked conversation and laughs. The couple share a love for music of all genres, and paired their playlists with their curiosity, and what started as as solo adventures to Seattle, became the foundation of love that would last well beyond that summer, and into seasons of life.
