Our love story began in 2022, when Taylor first reached out to Amber on a charming little dating app called Hinge. At the time, he was living in Olney, Texas, while she was based in Fort Worth—about two hours apart. Amber was intrigued, but understandably hesitant. A long-distance match? That felt like a stretch. So, what did she do? The most logical thing she could think of at the time… she ghosted him completely. Fast forward to July 2023. Out of the blue, Amber appeared on Taylor’s “People You May Know” list on Instagram. Taking it as a sign—or maybe just a stroke of boldness—he decided to send her a message. After all, what’s the worst that could happen? Amber was, once again, hesitant. The distance still felt like a roadblock, and the idea of dating someone two hours away seemed far from practical. But after a week of light-hearted texting and getting to know each other again, Amber decided to take a leap of faith and give this persistent guy a real shot. And that’s when everything changed. From that moment on, Taylor never looked back. Every weekend, without fail, he made the drive to Fort Worth. He showed up—again and again—not just in miles, but in heart. He cheered Amber on at Six Shooters events, stood proudly beside her at drill team performances, and found his place in the circle of people she loves most. In doing so, he became one of them. Week by week, mile by mile, a deeper connection blossomed—one built on presence, consistency, and a kind of love that feels rare and enduring. What started as cautious curiosity soon turned into trust, laughter, and something neither of them could quite put into words at first: home. Looking back now, they both smile at how unlikely it all seemed at the start. A chance encounter, a ghosted message, and a second shot that neither of them saw coming. But it turned out to be the best decision they ever made. They’ve become best friends and unwavering partners—each other’s biggest cheerleaders and safest place to land. Soulmates, not in the fairytale sense, but in the quiet, steady way that grows from choosing one another, every day. Taylor often says he’s created an independent princess—the most selfless, hardworking woman he’s ever known. And he wouldn’t change a single thing about her strength, spirit, or heart. And Amber? She’s come to cherish all the little things that make Taylor the man he is—his fierce loyalty, his unwavering devotion, his gentle heart. Through him, she’s learned that real love isn’t just about grand gestures—it’s about presence, patience, and finding beauty in the little things. Together, they’ve written a love story that reminds us the best things in life often come when we least expect them—but exactly when we need them most.
