We met while touring the U.S. and Canada with Sesame Street Live!: Make a New Friend, which meant spending A LOT of time around each other. At some point, spending so much time working together turned into hanging out outside of the venues we were playing. We clambered around the City Museum in St. Louis, MO, spent a day going to some of Taylor's favorite spots around Austin, TX, survived seeing a Spurs/Blazers playoff basketball game in Portland, OR, and road-tripped to Vegas during our time off in Anaheim, CA. By the time year one of tour was over, we were beginning to realize how important we were to each other. The past four years together have been an adventure. We left touring with The Street to move to the Seattle area. We've successfully navigated (and enjoyed!) multiple trips through IKEA. We got our sweet fur-baby, Amelia (formally known by her full name, Amelia Tesla Takata-Whitmire). And on December 27, 2017, Taylor proposed in the middle of a family photoshoot! We can’t wait to take the next step in our lives together and hope you’ll come party with us on our wedding day!
