Mitchell and Taylor were first introduced back in the summer of 2007 through Taylors older brother Steven. They were friends for quite some time before their friendship began to grow into something more. In 2013 they began hanging out more consistently. Then on Valentine's Day in 2014, Mitch invited Taylor over to his house where he had prepared dinner for the two of them. It was from this night on that they knew they were more than just friends. For the next couple of years, they had their differences but they always made their way back together. It was apparent they couldn't live without each other and they have been inseparable since. Their love grows stronger every day as they continue to build a life together.

It was the Saturday after Taylor graduated nursing school, she had a party planned at their house to celebrate not only her graduation but her birthday. Little did she know she was also going to be celebrating the engagement between her and Mitchell. In the midst of preparing for the party, Mitchell pulled Taylor aside and gave her her birthday present which was a card. In that card were Mitchell's words of love and devotion to Taylor. Once Taylor was finished reading the card (tears in her eyes) Mitchell got down on one knee and asked Taylor to spend the rest of her life with him. Without hesitation, Taylor said YES!
