To have and to hold.

Taylor tells this story best! Taylor and Lizzy met while both working in the emergency room at KU Hospital. Taylor was an EMT and Lizzy was still in nursing school. Lizzy was hesitant to "date" any one she worked with, worried that it may deter her chances of being hired as a nurse when she graduated. But there was something about Taylor. It was a summer night, and Taylor wasn't getting off work until 11pm. Lizzy wrote her number down and told him to meet her and a group of their co-workers out for drinks when he got off. He showed up, and at the end of the night offered to give Lizzy a ride back to her place (since she had walked to work and the bar on 39th). The little red farm truck sold her, and the rest was history.

Two years later, Lizzy and Taylor are on a dream European vacation. Budapest, Vienna, and Prague! Taylor had booked a tour into the Venetian country side, where the group would stop at a scenic lookout and then travel to a vineyard for dinner. Of course, it was the rainiest, coldest day of their trip. They couldn't see anything through the fog at the look out, which is where Taylor had planned to propose. He thought he'd have to wait another day, but after the dinner, they walked into the courtyard of the wine house. You could see all the vines of the vineyard, and the rain had let up. They posed for a picture and he got down on one knee.
