Starting off at Halcyon Elementary in Montgomery, Alabama, they were in the same second grade class. Austin- the hyper kid who couldn't sit still, Taylor- just watching and laughing. Fast forward to their seventh grade year at St. James Church after being at separate middle schools, they met again playing "four square" in the church gym. Over the years at church, they became best friends. They graduated high school, both spent time at Auburn University (War Eagle), and came back to work for the same youth group at St. James Church and remained good friends for the rest of their time in college. After graduating and choosing jobs, they landed in Birmingham. Their friendship remained, and the feelings progressed. One night after Johnathan Jenkins’ (groomsman) birthday, Austin asked to take Taylor on a date. They went, and it was effortless. Now, engaged and thriving in every season they are blessed with together. We’ve grown up together, and now we can’t wait to grow old together.
