We’re eloping!

Taylor and I met through Bumble (a dating app) when we were both living in Alabama. Since we were both set to leave in August (about 3 months after meeting) neither of us thought about getting into anything serious. Well… one thing led to another, and after we discovered the joy we brought each other we decided to go all in on a long distance relationship. At the time, I was a travel PT and Taylor was moving to Durango, CO for college, so our next steps were definitely not aligned. Our first time apart was 92 days! It was a very long and trying 92 days, but we grew so much as a couple. Our communcaition skills, trust, love and dedication to each other just continued to blossom. After that, we endured a couple more years of long distance and visiting each other whenever we could. Then, in January of 2021 Taylor planned the most perfect proposal and, of course, I said yes! We went through another very difficult six months being apart before I was able to make the transition home to Durango where we are now finally able to live together! Our relationship has definitely been a whirlwind but our love and gratitude for each other has never faltered. We are so excited to say “I do” at a private ceremony in the moutains we love so much, followed by a multi-stop trip to celebrate with our loved ones!
