Ellen was attending the wedding of a college friend a couple of years ago. While getting ready for the welcome dinner, a friend/bridesmaid in the wedding texted her with “I have a hottie I want you to meet tonight”.
Taylor was attending the same wedding because it was his cousin getting married. And when he was told by this bridesmaid there was a girl he needed to meet, he was open to the opportunity.
As you can guess, the matchmaking was beyond successful! They talked all that evening, shared some time on the dance floor at the reception, then had their first official date shortly afterwards. And they’ve been together ever since.
Let me just tell you, Ellen and Taylor are PRECIOUS. They are so kind, so welcoming, and so easy to have in front of my camera!
Taylor was originally going to propose at Bald Rock the last weekend in September.
However, Hurricane Helene had other plans. So Taylor shifted his!
Since they were without power in the upstate, they decided to get away to the coast to “visit her brother”. That first evening, they took pizza onto the beach, where Taylor waited until sunset. “We had a wonderful conversation about a future together and at the end I asked her to spend that future with me!
We may have been freezing on that mountain top, but I would say it was worth it for this view and that blue sky!
