We had our first date at Rose Foods — a casual coffee date that left the opportunity to be short if it didn’t go well…That first date we were kicked out because we were there so long they had to close the shop, and we have been inseparable ever since. We did some traveling together (ciao, Italy!), did a lot of cooking as chef and sous chef, made pizza religiously every Friday, bought a house in Portland, and had lots of snuggles with our cats Banksy and Pollock. After 4 years and 10 months of Taylor not-so-patiently waiting, Jon got on one knee at our spot at Two Lights State Park after taking us to Rose Foods again for the first time since our first date. And on his birthday nonetheless! Always the project manager, Taylor immediately started planning the wedding :)
