We met in the summer, in an Algebra 1 class. Me (Taylor) being the competitive person that I am would always ask Jacob where he was in the program so I would always be ahead of him. Jacob would always ask for help on problems and I would try to explain how I figured it out, but he told me after we started dating that I always made him more confused than before he asked the question. Ironically there was this kid in our class that one day said: "you two should date, y'all look good together". Of course, that was really awkward because we did not know what each other thought so we both kinda looked at each other and said "Nah". After summer Jacob ask for my number through an Instagram "DM" and the rest is history.
We went on a carnival cruise that started on May 5th. We went with Jacob's family and this was the first time to vacation without my parents. I told Jacob along time ago that I would prefer my mom and dad to be there, so I was totally not expecting it. Not to mention the fact that he works almost 40 hours a week plus he is a full-time student, so I do not understand how he could've got everything prepared without me knowing, Anyways, it was a formal night on the cruise, so we were all dressed up. Now, if you know Tammy, you will know she LOVES pictures to be taken 24/7. So I got told that we were taking sunset pictures outside. I thought that was totally normal, so I went outside to pose for a picture. Jacob grabbed my hand then got down on one knee and proposed. I, of course, was shocked and said "YES!".
