Most relationships start with a meet-cute. Taylor & Dylan's started with basketball and Snapchat—very on-brand for 18-year-old them. After Dylan’s team beat Taylor’s high school team, he was surprised to see her post celebrating an enormous 70-point playoff win. Curious, he messaged her and one message turned into another. Before they knew it, they were talking every day. Five months later, they left for different colleges, Dylan to Winona State University, Taylor to UW-La Crosse. They were nervous. Different schools and college life can be a tricky combination, but they made it work with weekend visits, like homecoming in Winona and Oktoberfest in La Crosse. When they made it through that phase, they knew this was it. Over the years, their adventures have grown—traveling, golfing, working out, going to concerts, and binge-watching their favorite shows. But their biggest addition came in December 2024: Moka, their Aussie puppy and ruler of their apartment. If you ask her, she’ll say she runs the household, and honestly… she’s not wrong. After seven years together, there was no question of “if”, only “when”. Dylan knew Taylor well enough to understand that a grand, public proposal wouldn’t be her style. So, he made it perfect, proposing in their apartment, in a quiet, intimate moment they could cherish without distraction. Now, Dylan and Taylor get to celebrate their love story with the friends and family who’ve been part of their journey from the beginning. The next chapter is just beginning, and they can’t wait to share it, with plenty of laughs, memories, and, of course, Moka by their side.
