Raquel decided in June 2017 that she wanted to travel to Europe. She knew Jonathan Moreno, a high school friend, was stationed in Germany, so she asked if he was planning on traveling so she could tag along and travel around Europe. (SIDE NOTE: JJ and Tayler were best friends who met while serving in the military.) JJ told her which flights to buy and which train tickets she needed, and Raquel bought her ticket and was on her way to Germany (her first stop). She met Tayler in Germany, but she didn't really talk to him until they arrived in Santorini, Greece. Tayler and Raquel began talking and spending time together in Greece, where they fell in love! Tayler returned home in June 2019, more than a year later, to be stationed at Fort Jackson in South Carolina. Raquel chose this state because it was closest to his family, and she preferred to live near some family over none. Tayler arrived in California, and they began a new chapter in their lives together within a few days. They drove from California to South Carolina, where they settled in Irmo, South Carolina. Even though they are no longer in that house, this is where all the memories will be kept. The rest is history, and we can't wait to share this new chapter of our lives with you all.
