Taylor and Daniel first met at Aruba Networks in Portland Oregon where they worked in the same office but on different teams that tended not to cross paths. After 8 months of working so close yet so far from one another, Daniel couldn’t help but notice Taylor. Eventually he started to find excuses to stop by her desk for a chat and Skype messaging her on the daily. What started as casual conversations in the office turned into something much more. And now, almost six years later, Daniel and Taylor are finally getting married!
Taylor and Daniel had been out with some friends in their favorite beach town Oceanside California. As the night grew late, Taylor suggested a walk on the beach before heading home. It had already been such a perfect day, full of laughs and kisses, and in that moment, Daniel knew it was the right time. He dropped to one knee, ready to propose—only one small problem... he didn’t have the ring with him! Taylor, a little confused at first, made sure Daniel wasn’t messing with her. Once she was convinced, Daniel shared a heartfelt speech, and of course, happy tears were shed! When they got home, Taylor rinsed the sand off her feet and came around the corner, only to find Daniel on one knee again, this time holding the ring in his hands. It was an unforgettable moment, perfectly "us"—spontaneous, full of love, and with just the right touch of humor.
