Our story began at Francis Marion University in the fall of 2017. We met each other in our University Life class but did not become familiar with each other until January of 2018. We started conversing in the hallways outside the chemistry classrooms in January and eventually started going to the library together. On March 18, 2018, we started dating and had our first date at Bruster’s ice cream. This date was the start of many. We both graduated from Francis Marion University in December of 2020. After graduating, Taylor pursued a career in real estate, and Blake continued preparing for medical school. On June 25th, 2023, during a trip to Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, after dating over 5 years, we started a new chapter of our lives when Blake proposed, and we officially became engaged. We can’t wait to start the next chapter on June 22nd, 2024, with all of our family, friends, and loved ones at Belin Methodist Church in Murrells Inlet, South Carolina, when we get married!
