Girl meets Boy. Boy trains girl. Girl never stopped showing up. Nicole & Taylor's story is one of patience and courage that began as a slow, moving friendship into the strong love you see today. In 2013, Nicole walked into the gym in San Rafael, California (thanks, mom ;) ) when she first met Taylor. Her immediate thought was "Do I know this guy!?" as something about him felt so familiar. But she thought to herself, "nah, there's no way" as she carried on her day. For the next six years, Nicole & Taylor would have much to learn about themselves and each other before joining together. Nicole always thought Taylor was kind of a nerdy, sporty guy. She noticed that he laughed at his own jokes, spoke in great detail about lungs and ribcages and most importantly, had a genuine care for others. Taylor thought Nicole was smart and outgoing, with a genuine happiness about her. They would ask each other many questions about their schooling, passions, and interests and slowly realized they had a lot in common between county music and reading, watching documentaries, being outdoors by the beach, and most importantly, trying and eating all sorts of foods. They say good things take time. That sometimes, those you need appear when you least expect it. Well, that is how our story began and we are so thankful to have you all by our side, in person or in spirit, on our special day!
