How We Met

The Wedding Website of Talia Christian and Shaquille Gould
Talia and Shaquille met in a way that truly highlights the modern era of technology! One day as Talia glanced at her FYP (for you page) on Instagram, she clicked on a post. In this post, someone had tagged Shaquille. This led her to his page and she followed him. To her luck, he followed back! But it wasn't until a year later that they first interacted. On April 7, 2021, Shaq got his COVID-19 shot and documented it on his IG story. Talia swiped up and mentioned that she also recently got her shot. They bonded over both receiving the Pfizer vaccine and their conversation continued. On April 14, 2021, the conversation left the DMs (direct messages) when Shaq asked Talia for her phone number. Finally, May 16, 2021 marked their first in-person date at Hopscotch in San Antonio. Shaquille really impressed Talia when he bought her favorite cake, Tres Leches, to enjoy all to herself! Now, four years later, we are excited to come together and witness their marriage.
