Our story began the way so many first dates do—wrapped in anticipation, softened by nerves, and full of quiet wonder about what might be. Across the flicker of candlelight in a dimly lit restaurant, we sat facing one another, stealing glances and unknowingly stepping into a moment that would change everything. From the very beginning, there was a feeling I couldn’t quite name—only recognize. Taylor felt like a kindred soul, like the answer to a lifelong search for home. Meeting him was that rare aha moment people speak of, the kind I never believed in until it happened to me. Love at first sight suddenly felt not only possible, but undeniable. What I didn’t know then was that, just moments after our first date ended, Taylor sent a text to his twin sister, Alexis: “I think I might have just met my wife.” From that moment on, our love has been rooted in certainty—steady, sure, and deeply felt. Taylor has been my home ever since. (If you’d like to visit where it all began, our first-date spot, TAPateria, is listed under Things to Do.) We are so excited to celebrate this next chapter with you and are endlessly grateful for the love and support that has brought us here.
