Eli had crafted an elaborate plan to bring Taylor back to the very spot where they first met. To make it even more special, Eli and their friends set up a group chat, inviting everyone to a dinner at Derrick’s parents’ house. But on the day of the proposal, a "work emergency" popped up, and Taylor ended up riding with Kayden instead. As they were about twenty minutes away from the location, Bryce called Kayden, saying that Derrick had lost his dog at a nearby camp and they needed to help find it. Completely unsuspecting, Taylor and Kayden arrived at the camp and began searching for the dog. Along the way, Taylor chatted away about how special this place was, sharing memories of where they first met and where they took their first photos together. Then, as they rounded the corner, there was Eli, standing at the edge of a cliff, surrounded by rose petals, next to a sign that read, “Will you marry me?” Taylor was completely shocked and utterly surprised that Eli had managed to keep it all a secret. Of course, Taylor said yes, and that moment marked the beginning of their forever love story. It only took 7.5 years for them to get there.
