Taylor and Jenna met in third grade in Mrs. Roberts' class at Valhalla Elementary. Taylor was all about Jenna's curly red hair, and Jenna thought Taylor had the world's prettiest eyes; first crushes quickly ensued.

They spent the next decade or so dancing around big feelings and being too nervous to act on them (shout out to a "date" to watch Phantom of the Opera).

There were MANY horrifyingly embarrassing diary entries along these lines between 1999 and 2008. Fortunately(?) Unfortunately(?) Taylor's entries were lost to time, but Jenna still has enough for both of them.

Although they never got together as teenagers, Taylor refused to give up and consistently made sure Jenna knew he was still looking for his chance. He even kept her school photo from freshman year in his wallet for all that time and confessed it to her once while he was drunk in Mexico in their 20s. She realized this might be more than a long standing crush and started to see him a little differently.

They both had a lot of growing up to do before they were ready to be together, but everything changed when that first kiss finally happened. They now have an incredibly happy and supportive life together, and Taylor proposed at the top of the hill in the park they used to walk through in high school on the anniversary of the day they first met. They celebrated back at Valhalla, where it all started.

To mark the 28th anniversary of that meeting and life coming full circle, Taylor and Jenna will be getting married at the Jefferson Street Mansion in Benicia, CA in September of this year and hope you can be there!
