We first met at a rugby formal during our freshman year of college. At the time, it was just a quick introduction, and neither of us thought much of it. A few months later, though, everything shifted. That June, Taylor mentioned to Brendan that she would be staying in town for the summer without many friends around. Without hesitation, Brendan invited Taylor on a hike. That hike turned into our very first date, and from the moment we set out on the trail, something just clicked. What started as a simple summer adventure quickly grew into so much more—late nights, endless laughter, and countless memories that built the foundation of our relationship. Looking back, it’s hard to believe that one casual invitation became the start of forever. Now, we’re so excited to celebrate the next part of our story with all of you.
