Those are the words that sparked a relationship full of love, laughter, and adventure. Like all great modern love stories, theirs began on Hinge. Kusha was in town for his birthday, and Taylor was the first girl he saw. She was looking for someone to be spontaneous with, prompting Kusha to challenge her, asking, “Are you spontaneous enough to spend my birthday with me?”. What started as a casual date turned into an entire weekend of adventures. When it was time for Kusha to head back to California, they decided to give long-distance a try. For a year, they were building their relationship over 3,000 miles away. With nightly 3-hour FaceTime calls to monthly visits to their hometowns, they built a foundation so strong that distance didn’t matter. Since then, life has been an adventure! And on January 1, 2025, Kusha decided to make this adventure last forever. And that was the easiest yes Taylor ever had to say.

Monterey is a special place in Taylor and Kusha’s love story. It was the first city they had ever traveled to, and it would soon be their favorite city! Kusha picked Taylor up from the airport, and they headed off to Monterey. The coastal charm made Taylor feel at home, given her Florida roots. And the bustling downtown provided plenty of opportunities for new experiences. After an amazing weekend in Monterey, they knew they’d be back! Fast forward a few years, and there was only one place Kusha wanted to take a knee. With Taylor’s family in town, Lover’s Point made for the perfect setting. When the time came to choose a location for their big day, Monterey was the easy choice for both of them. Taylor and Kusha want to spend their special day with their favorite people in the city that started it all.
