Our story begins in July of 2021. We met playing beach volleyball in Rhode Island, and admired each other's skills. With eyes on the prize, we felt it only made sense for the two of us to join forces and compete in a tournament together. Our skills complemented each others- Rob with unmatched precision in serve receive and defense, and Taylor being a force in the front row with a cannon for an arm. We thought we would be unbeatable. BOY were we wrong. We played in a grass tournament soon after and lost every match. Every. Single. One. Though we went completely defeated on the day, we didn't feel like losers. Even though we lost, we found the qualities that we admired initially were just the tip of the iceberg. We learned early-on how each other handled doing hard things, how we handled failure, and how we treated others in tough moments- all important qualities we both felt we needed in a partner on and off the court. Over the course of the next two years, Taylor moved down to Providence, got a job at The Miriam Hospital and also joined Rob on staff at Brown Volleyball. We’ve travelled all over the country and across Europe together making wonderful memories, laughing at each other's call-back jokes, and falling more and more in love each day. We can't wait to share these incredible memories with those who care about us most. Cheers to a year of celebrating true love with family and friends!
