8 years ago, Taylor and Mike's paths crossed when they matched on a dating app - little did they know that two simple swipes would eventually lead to forever. After some convincing from Mike (aka him bribing her with a venti starbucks drink) they proceeded to go on a few dates before Mike went back to FSU to finish his last semester - go noles! Back home at Farmingdale, Taylor was required to take an elective that spring semester. She decided on women's history thinking it would be an easy A, big mistake. Not soon after she discovered they had mutual friends in common (shoutout to Vinny Bach for being the ultimate wing man) Taylor decided to reach back out and they both agreed to pick up where they left off once Mike returned home that summer for good. From that point on they became inseparable while continuing to make many amazing memories together. Between co-parenting their cat, Mercedes (Momi), to becoming homeowners, and traveling the world together, Mike decided to FINALLY pop the question to Taylor while on vacation in Turkey on July 20th, 2023. Spoiler alert: Taylor said YES! And the rest is history ♡ Please mark your calendars for October 10th, 2025 because that's when Taylor and Mike will say "I do" and move on to the next chapter in their love story.
