Nestled in the mountains of northern Portugal is a church. Taylor had visited this church with her Avós many times throughout her childhood. São Bento da Porta Alberta quickly became one of her favorite places to go and the first time Michael visited, he instantly felt just how special it was. Throughout their years traveling to Portugal, Taylor and Michael always spent at least one night at the hotel across the road from this beloved church. They both loved the peacefulness and beauty of this gem, so close to the village Taylor’s grandparents were born and raised in. One evening, under the stars and the Rio Caldo flowing below, Michael got down on one knee and asked Taylor to be his wife. She yelled yes into the quiet night, the stars twinkling above them as if their grandparents watched on - blessing their union.
