Michael and Taylor met in the fall of 2015 and quickly realized they were meant for each other.

Taylor moved to Washington, D.C. for law school less than a year later. Although their relationship was relatively new, they committed to dating long distance. During this time, their relationship was an important source of support and encouragement as each took on new challenges in their careers.

After Taylor graduated from law school, she returned to the Lehigh Valley to be with Michael. Their love continued to grow and deepen over the next years.

Michael asked Taylor to marry him in the Tuscan countryside in June of 2024.
