Our story began during Taylor’s grad school years. Between the dedicated studying and the marathon of board exams, our relationship started with frequent texting and—at first—very infrequent dates. We spent months in different states while Taylor completed clinicals and Colin navigated career moves, requiring us both to be adaptable. Our lives seemed to present with constant change, but through it all, we never stopped supporting one another. Once the dust settled on school and new jobs, we tackled a different kind of challenge: buying a house. We didn't do it alone, of course. We navigated the crazy post-COVID market (iykyk) with Taylor’s dad, who has famously strong opinions, and Colin’s dad, whose contracting expertise means he’s passionate about every detail down to the soft-close cabinets. Probably most importantly, our sweet moms were there to mediate and keep the focus on the end goal of home ownership. The house truly became a home as we filled it with memories: hosting Chiefs watch parties, celebrating holidays, and saying a difficult goodbye to our sweet Cece. We are so proud of the life we have begun to build together and cannot wait to celebrate our wedding day with you all. See you on the dance floor!
