We met at orientation, our freshmen year of high school. We were immediately drawn to each other and quickly became friends. Flash forward to October of that year, after months of a great friendship and a handwritten note asking the question, we were officially dating!

In June of 2018, we went on a weeklong vacation to Point Pleasant Beach, New Jersey. While taking a walk down the shoreline, we stopped on the top of the jetty overlooking the ocean, where Sterling pointed out something written in chalk on the jetty. As Taylor read his message, he got down on one knee and asked her to marry him. Through a lot of happy tears, she said yes! We immediately began planning our October wedding and decided to get married exactly 12 years after we originally started dating. We're so excited to celebrate this next chapter in our lives with you!
