Yes! Two weeks after Taylor surprised Maggie with an engagement proposal, Maggie returned the favor with an even bigger surprise! The Baby T adventure begins this July, and they can’t wait to meet everyone in Yosemite.
Yosemite has always been special to Maggie’s family. From camping on the valley floor and climbing Half Dome to siblings getting lost and deciding which boulder would become their new home. It’s a place full of treasured memories shared with their dad before he passed away in 2010.
Not quite! We were hoping for an October wedding in Yosemite, and this date was the one that worked. Maggie’s love of Halloween may still shine through with a few fun tricks and treats at the reception—but no costumes required.
