Our Story

We fell in love while working together at the Continental Divide. Our eyes always met when laughing with the crew at Miller's. Taite sealed the deal when he texted Emma medieval lute music.

Emma wore a black widow costume on our first date—killer omen! Taite took us out to a Korean restaurant, and then we snuck Emma's tequila poison vials into the Mockstars Halloween Ball.

After six months of dating, Taite told Emma he would follow her anywhere—and the Grad School visits began! Here we are in Ann Arbor

Our first place together in Chapel Hill. Taite got his belt loop stuck on our screen door.

At the Folger Shakespeare Library's Blackfriars Theater

Celebrating our First Maiden's birthday wearing shirts from our favorite band

We adopted Madge (Her Majesty to you) and became her favorite throne

Romantic weekend trip to Charleston. Emma is guilty of being a paranoid introvert and asking, "You aren't going to propose here, are you?"... *face palm* [he wasn't]

Taite proposed the morning of our first Renaissance Fair. He convinced Emma he was working on a Shakespeare Vanitas painting for months but sneakily swapped the skull for a ring.

We cannot wait to get hitched! Engagement photos by the amazing Lexi Simcic <3

Taite painted a Bradford pear tree and a Pando aspen for our invitations
