Max and Tara met through mutual friends in the summer of 2018 while Max was playing with his band in downtown Willoughby. They began getting to know each other, and their love sparked when attending a close friend’s wedding the following month. Since then, they have been inseparable and best friends through life. In 2020, they moved into their first home together in Parma, OH where they enjoyed exploring the new area and spending time at home with their cat, Gabe. In 2021, a new job opportunity relocated them to the sunny state in Jacksonville, FL and they have called this home ever since. They are both passionate about their careers, spending time with their cats, and exploring new places together! In March of 2024, they visited a cabin in Pine Mountain, GA to celebrate Max’s 30th birthday. To Tara’s surprise, this is where Max got down on one knee and asked her to spend the rest of her life with him. Of course, she said yes! They are looking forward to being surrounded by their closest family and friends as they get married in Madison, OH in October 2025!
