This love story starts back in 2019, but it was in the works back in 2005! Dane and Tanna met in elementary school, but their friendship didn’t grow until highschool years. Graduation rolled around then Tanna and Dane went to different colleges. While Tanna was in her sophomore year of college, she met Taylor and they became besties! Tanna began to bug the crap out of Taylor about Dane because she just knew that love was in the air. Taylor finally caved to shut Tanna up and got his snapchat during Thanksgiving 2019. Dane began snapchatting Taylor and thought she was cute, but Taylor had doubts because Dane is a HORRIBLE texter (if you know, you know). I guess the communication got better because in January 2020, Taylor asked Dane to come to JMU for MLK weekend since their school schedules aligned with having an extended weekend. During that time, it felt like this was how things had always been. They just clicked! Everything was going so good that before Dane was going to head back up to Pennsylvania, he popped the question! Well, not THE question, that's soon to come. During March 2020, Dane and Taylor came down to Virginia Beach to meet Taylor's family, then COVID-19 hit. You know that we liked him enough because of the shut down, his school was online and stayed at Taylor’s house for 3 months! They basically lived together throughout the whole pandemic. Eventually Dane got tired of the Ouzts household and went back up to Pennsylvainia, but Taylor couldn't get enough of her beau. After 2 1/2 years of the continuous back and forth, hard goodbyes, and loads of tears, Taylor packed up and moved to PA. Their hearts were so full of love that they couldn't just give it to each other, so Mr. Apollo man came into their lives in October 2022. Fast forward to 2023, Taylor and her family went looking at Christmas lights. We stopped to take some family photos and Dane finally popped THE question December 27th, 2023!! Taylor had no idea what was going on! Alas, we are preparing for the beautiful day of union and love between these two love birds. We cannot wait to celebrate the upcoming Mr. and Mrs. Dane Rhoades on September 13, 2025!!
