Oye and Taylor started as friends, really good friends. For a long time, they truly believed that’s all they would ever be. They spent their days doing the simple things: watching movies, playing games, baking (a lot), and just enjoying each other’s company. It was easy, natural, and full of laughter. But somewhere along the way, something quietly began to change. Taylor found herself noticing the little things about Oye, the way he carried himself, the way he treated others, the way he made her feel. She would catch herself thinking, “Wow, that’s a quality I’d want in a partner.” And without realizing it, that list kept growing… until one day, she realized Oye was the list. Oye was having those same quiet realizations too. As he spent more time with Taylor, he couldn’t help but admire her kindness, her warmth, and the joy she brought into every moment. He would think, “That’s exactly the kind of person I’d want as a wife.” Before long, Taylor had become everything he was looking for. Taylor likes to say she figured it out first but Oye, who treasured their friendship so deeply, took a little longer. He knew what they had was special, and he didn’t want to risk losing it. But love has a way of making itself known, no matter how carefully you try to guard your heart. So, after what Taylor would call “a long time,” Oye finally took a leap of faith. On October 12th, 2024, he told Taylor he was crazy about her. And as it turns out… she already knew. The rest, as they say, is history.
