Our paths first crossed at our shared undergraduate alma mater, Berry College. But, it wasn't until quite a few years after we both graduated that we reconnected. Our first date lasted five hours, and Taylor knew right away that Gabriel was worth waiting for, even if that meant waiting for him to finish four years of chiropractic school. After two years of "unofficial" dating, we finally decided to make it official in July of 2019 and the rest is history.
For quite a while, "after graduation" was the only timeline Gabriel would give for a proposal. Taylor had no idea that he meant that quite literally. Immediately following his graduation from Life University on September 24, 2021, he told Taylor that he'd like to go to the William Root House and take his graduation pictures, as there were long lines to take photos with any campus landmarks. She agreed, and there was a photographer at the house, but there was also a ring hidden in his graduation cap!
