Anthony and Taylor met at The Fort Valley State University in 2011. They were introduced through a mutual friend (Kelsey Turner) who was Anthony's roommate at the time. Kelsey was picking up one of Taylor's friends from the neighborhood gas station and heading to campus and she was just tagging along for the ride. When she got in the vehicle she realized that she had to lap up on a stranger who turned out to be Anthony Rumph. From that interaction, they became close friends, which blossomed into being best friends, to now being engaged to be ONE. Anthony courted Taylor for a long time before she really knew what he was doing and he remained in the friend zone until Taylor was ready. In 2014, they went on their first trip to the Cayman Islands and Jamaica on a Carnival Cruise Line. At that time they were still just best friends. *side eye; wink* As time moved on they both graduated in May of 2015 from The Fort Valley State University. At that point they were still not officially together. It wasn't until a cold evening on February 16, 2016, that both Anthony and Taylor decided that they were done playing games and finally accepted what REAL LOVE actually was. After 5 years of learning each other, traveling, and meeting families and friends, life continued to propel. Taylor was relocated with her job at that time to Lebanon, Tennessee but resided in Murfreesboro, TN. Anthony wouldn't allow a long-distance relationship (LOL) so they moved in together to test-drive that lifestyle. Fast forward to December 19, 2021 - the night when Anthony made up his mind and proposed to Taylor. The setting was so perfect because she had no idea that he would propose at her parents' 35th-anniversary soiree. It was a magical moment! Taylor has always wanted her wedding date to be significant to her strong lineage of love and marriage. Her maternal grandparents got married on 12/19, her parents got married on 12/20, and HERE WE ARE !!!! getting married on 12/21/2024. We are excited to fill the room with LOVE as everyone celebrates this union. #RocknRumph24
