We met while pursuing our undergraduate degrees at Sacramento State. What brought us together was our mutual interests in college. We both participated in sports and were members of Greek life. We quickly hit it off and after many coffee, brunch, and study dates. We knew we had something special! Little did we know, we would have such a bright future together! Now, we lived together for three years, added a furry member to our family, both started our graduate programs, and now are engaged!!! We can't wait for all the adventures and milestones to come.

Let's just say Marc's impulsive nature plus Taylor's love for furry soft things, equaled an unplanned trip to the animal shelter. It didn't take long to find the best dog in the entire world, he was in the first kennel (lol). Max came home the next day and completed our family. He's the sweetest, most gentle, and handsome doggie we could have ever asked for! WE LOVE YOU MAX !

Marc spent months planning an epic surprise engagement for Taylor. He drove her to Temecula, California early in the morning to catch a hot air balloon ride at sunrise. When the two arrived at the launching site, Marc was nervous and Taylor had no idea what was going on. Soon, hot air balloons began to inflate in the large field as the sun rose. It was beautiful and perfect. As Taylor watched, Marc got down on one knee and asked the love of his life to marry him. She said yes by the way! It was a great day filled with many more surprises. All of Marc's and Taylor's closest friends and family met them at a winery to celebrate the news. Later, they all went to an alpaca farm (Taylor’s favorite animal) and spent hours taking photos and playing with the alpacas.
