Will and Taylor were mutual friends all through high school—always nearby, always connected, but never quite looking at each other the right way. Will thought Taylor was a little crazy, and Taylor thought Will was a troublemaker. As it turns out, they were both absolutely right… and also meant for each other. Years later, when their best friends began spending more time together, Will and Taylor started crossing paths more often. One evening, Will asked Taylor to hang out. She was in the middle of running errands to Home Depot and casually told him he could tag along if he wanted—fully expecting him to pass. Instead, Will insisted on joining her, turning a simple errand run into the beginning of something special. The two spent the night laughing, wandering the aisles of Home Depot, and enjoying each other’s company in the most unexpected way. As Will walked Taylor back to her car, they discovered she had locked her keys inside. Without hesitation, Will stepped in and saved the night—earning his first official title as Taylor’s hero. From that moment on, they were inseparable. Eight years later, Will and Taylor have grown together through countless highs, a few hard moments, and everything in between. No matter what life throws their way, they remain each other’s biggest supporters. They’ve shared a home for five happy years and built a life filled with love, laughter, and two very spoiled dogs: Rudy, their energetic Irish Doodle, and Gus, their feisty Chihuahua. They love cooking together, spending time outdoors, being near the water, and settling in for cozy movie nights. Most of all, they cherish the life they’ve created side by side. In April 2025, during a birthday weekend getaway to Port Aransas Beach, Will planned a proposal that was perfectly “them.” On their final night, the couple was fishing at the far south jetty. Will had just purchased what he believed to be the toughest saltwater fishing pole available—straight from a gas station. After hooking something mysterious, the pole snapped in half, and Taylor assumed their night had come to an end. But the evening was too magical to walk away from. The sun melted into the horizon, painting the sky in soft shades of orange and pink. Sea turtles glided through the water below, while dolphins surfaced and danced in the distance. As Taylor stood quietly taking it all in, Will reached into his pocket and pulled out his ZYN can—and instead of a nicotine pouch, he revealed a beautiful ring. He dropped to one knee on the jetty, the ocean stretching endlessly behind him, and asked Taylor to marry him. It was intimate, unexpected, romantic, and absolutely perfect for them. Now, Will and Taylor are counting down the days until October 26th, 2024, when they’ll say “I do” and begin their greatest adventure yet—hand in hand, surrounded by love, laughter, and forever.
