In November of 2020, Taya and Weston met while working at the hospital in Sitka. On December 18th 2020, they spent their first date hiking Herring Cove. From that day on, they were inseparable. Weston and Taya shared a lot of experiences in their first year of dating, from traveling south central Alaska, and going on outdoor adventures, to having to be long distance when Taya left for college, but through it all their love and relationship became stronger. On December 16th 2021, Weston proposed to Taya when they returned to Herring Cove to celebrate their One year anniversary.
