How does an anesthesiologist and a steamfitter meet? Hinge of course! After many unsuccessful dates we stumbled upon one another’s profiles. Taylor would say that Brian had pictures of friends in different places (probably climbing) and a strong jawline. Brian would say that he always wanted to date a beautiful southern belle. Our spark quickly became apparent, and after many dates and hikes around Seattle, we knew we had found something special. When Covid hit, we took the plunge and moved in together bonding over macaroons and horrible bravo reality shows. As time went by and Taylor was on the cusp of finishing her fellowship, Brian knew she was the one he wanted to share the rest of life’s adventures with. Under the guise of a celebratory graduation trip, Brian gathered the Shaws and Zigas to go and recognize Taylor’s milestone accomplishment on the island of Oahu. Finally, on the morning of August 16th, as the sun was rising over the Mokuluas, Brian proposed and Taylor said yes!
