Neither of us were expecting too much going into a first date at Greyhound Tavern in Fells Point. But shortly into our second date, it was clear something different was in the air. From that point on, we saw each other multiple times every week and talked every day. There was an instant comfort and closeness that grew the more time we spent together. When Taylor's cat Stella, who is notoriously anti-people, gave me the seal of approval, I knew I was in! Through a trip to New York, family holidays, Orioles and Ravens games, and more and more time together, our connection grew. It was meant to be. After a trip to Michigan to visit Taylor's family and another to Maine to see (officiant) Mark and Gwen, I knew it was time to make things official. Taylor said yes in September of 2024, and we moved in together with Mumford and Stella shortly after. Throughout the entire relationship, everything just clicked and felt right. The zoo was one of our earliest dates, so it felt like the perfect place for the wedding. We are so excited to celebrate our love with you!
