We’re getting married!

We met in a Physics class in our first year of college. We sat at the same table, and Marlan had on his Jaguars hoodie, so naturally, Taylor had to make it known that the Titans were better, and since football (and food) are the way to Marlan's heart, the rest is history.

In true Taylor and Marlan fashion, our first date was to Olive Garden for the early bird special. Those of you who know us know that this checks out because 1) Taylor likes to be in bed by 9 PM sharp and 2) Marlan is frugal as can be. Little did we know then that the early bird dinners would become a weekly thing for the rest of our freshman year of college. Luckily for us, we started trying new places in Athens by the time sophomore year began.

Marlan FINALLY asked the question... well, sort of. Movies make it seem like for a proposal to be perfect, a man has to have some elaborate Nicholas Sparks-esque speech. That definitely isn't true, because Taylor thought it was more than perfect, and all Marlan said was " Well, will ya?". He even forgot to put the ring on Taylor's finger and closed the box right back up. To keep trends alive and well, we went out for Italian food right after, and stayed up way past Taylor's bedtime looking at all things wedding.

Now, Taylor and Marlan are buying a house to begin their adult lives in, and, of course, finish planning the wedding in. We can't wait to see everyone at the wedding when we can have all of our favorite people in one room to celebrate and party, though hopefully not too hard (I'm looking at you, Matthew Butt).
