Our story began in 2017, though its roots stretch back even further with Taylor's secret crush on Austin. Everything started with a simple Instagram message from Taylor about one of Austin’s guitar amps. This led to their first date at an Indians game, which ended with a thrilling walk-off home run just as it began to pour rain. As they ran back to the car, Austin stopped and pulled Taylor in for a kiss. To this day, Taylor says it was the most magical kiss she’s ever experienced.

Despite their strong connection, Austin and Taylor faced the "right person, wrong time" scenario when Taylor had to leave for college. However, it wasn’t long before she returned home, and they found their way back to each other. "When you know, you know."

On July 7th, 2020, Taylor and Austin officially started dating. Since then, they’ve traveled the world, bought a house, and worked hard every day to build a beautiful life together. In May of 2024, they took a cruise with both of their families. During a walk along the side of the ship, overlooking the beautiful ocean, Austin got down on one knee and asked Taylor to marry him.

And now, as they stand on the brink of forever, they look forward to a future filled with love, laughter, and endless adventures. This is just the beginning of their happily ever after.
