We’re getting married!

Taylor moved to Hershey, Pennsylvania in 2011 and began high school at Lower Dauphin High School. She quickly became immersed with life in her new town, eventually crossing paths with Fabio at a football game’s tailgate. The two became friends and continued to grow to know one another, as their friend groups intertwined. As time passed, the friendship inevitably evolved into something more. As high school graduation came and went, the two went their separate ways to attend college; Fabio at Shippensburg and Taylor at University at Buffalo. It was not long before the two were finding any time to visit each other and spent most holiday breaks home together. It became clear that not even 300 miles could keep them apart. On January 28, 2017 Fabio asked Taylor to be his girlfriend with a promise to always love and cherish her; the two have been inseparable since. This promise comes to fruition as Fabio proposes five years later on his birthday.

Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, plans for Fabio’s birthday were lacking. Instead, Taylor promised Fabio a homemade birthday cake. It was a normal morning; the two woke up and fed their cats, Penelope and Augie. Taylor began to make the cake and was measuring out the ingredients. She asked Fabio to help with the flour, to which he replied, “No you do it”. She rolled her eyes and began to scoop out the flour, only to discover a box with her engagement ring in it. Fabio then got on one knee, and asked her to marry him.
