Even though, Taylor met and quickly bonded with Cj’s sister, Courtnee, at Amitted Student Day at Quinnipiac in 2012 Taylor and CJ’s story began early in their freshman year, when their paths first crossed on the Quinnipiac Shuttle. Taylor had no idea they were brother and sister but Courtnee will tell you that she knew we would all be here today. But it wasn’t until sophomore year where things truly took off—when CJ made a late-night trek across campus just to lend Taylor his economics textbook. Their first date was spent hiking the Sleeping Giant (the mountain right next to their campus), soon after, Taylor invited CJ to her fall formal, and from there, they were inseparable.

Their bond deepened during a semester abroad in Barcelona, where they celebrated their first anniversary. But it was a classic 'whoops, military time!' moment at Beauvais airport that really put their teamwork to the test. Stranded in Paris with no plan, they fumbled their way through and managed to get home—proving together they can get through anything!

From that first anniversary, time flew by. Their days together turned into years of laughter and adventure. Life together meant concerts, basketball games, comedy shows, museum visits, and "Real Housewives of Potomac" marathons. In true millennial fashion, they welcomed a loyal little sidekick, Hendrix—the dog whose name they had chosen back in their college dorm days.

On September 24, 2022, CJ proposed to Taylor, sealing their love with a promise for the future. They celebrated ten amazing years together in Punta Mita, Mexico, on January 30, 2024. Now, with hearts full of joy, they look forward to their upcoming wedding on March 21, 2025, excited for the next chapter of their beautiful love story.
