We met at the hospital in 2021 - in true surgical resident fashion. Jeffrey was the first year orthopedic surgery resident on the plastic surgery service, and Taylor was the second year plastic surgery resident covering for the weekend. However, at the time, we were both in relationships. Flash forward to September 2022 - a year later - and both of our prior relationships had ended. Jeffrey asked Taylor to go to dinner, and we went on our first date at a local Richmond restaurant - Sticky Rice. We continued to date over the course of the year until Taylor found out she would be making a cross country move to California to finish the final 3 years of her plastic surgery residency. Given the love and respect we already had for each other, we committed to a long distance relationship and continued to love each other more every day. Jeffrey proposed to Taylor on September 28, 2024 at Maymont Botanical Gardens in Richmond, Virginia, and we were able to celebrate with our family and friends at a beautiful engagement party in Richmond.
