Our story started long before either of us realized it. Ryan first noticed Tae’Lor back in middle school. He never said a word—but he noticed her. She stood out in a quiet, unforgettable way. Years passed, and he saw her again in high school. Still, no words were exchanged. Just glimpses. Curiosity. A presence he couldn’t ignore. Life moved on. We went our separate ways, never knowing that one day, those missed connections would turn into something beautiful. Years later, Instagram became our unexpected bridge. What began as a simple message turned into endless conversations, laughter, and a connection that felt both brand new and deeply familiar. Timing, it turns out, changes everything. We finally met face-to-face in Las Vegas, Nevada—and from that moment on, nothing was the same. There was a calmness in the way it all unfolded. No pressure. No confusion. Just peace. We didn’t have to chase it—it found us. On January 27, 2024, Ryan surprised Tae’Lor with a proposal at Virgin Hotels in Las Vegas. The same city where we reconnected, grew close, and realized we’d found our forever. What makes our story special isn’t just how it happened—it’s when. We crossed paths so many times, but love waited until the timing was right. And when it was… everything fell into place. From middle school glances to a lifetime of love—this is our story.
