we're getting married!

Who says guys have to make the first move? The second Anna saw Taylor from across the bar she figured, well what do I have to lose... I’m gonna go say hi! Taylor was born and raised in Northern Virginia, while Anna was born and raised in the small town of Crozet, VA. After high school, Taylor and Anna decided to take their athletic talents to the University of Mary Washington, where they met Anna’s senior year and Taylor’s last year of grad school. Fate had it that they both decided to stay in Fredericksburg for the summer, where their paths crossed at Jay's Sports Lounge (if you know, you know). The rest was the history.

Close to four years into their relationship, on April 4, 2020, Taylor decided he could not spend another moment without having Anna as his wife. When Taylor and Anna moved to Reston, VA they discovered Lake Newport. This Lake became their absolute favorite walking spot with its breath taking sunsets, ever winding trails, and intimate docks. Given their love for the area, Taylor knew the perfect spot. The morning of the proposal, as they were preparing for their morning walk, Taylor ran upstairs to grab his socks while also slipping the ring into his pocket. During the walk Anna started to drift ahead, and once while looking back, caught Taylor smiling to himself - weird right? Once they finally got to the spot, Taylor asked to take a break on the dock, where he pulled Anna in and popped the question (all with their pup Mazie jumping all over him). We are now so very excited to celebrate our love with our closest family and friends by our sides on November 6, 2021!
