Emmett’s love for Taylor began in 2014, their junior year of high school. What started out as two frrr..frrr.. friends (per Emmett’s infamous Instagram post) going to homecomings, proms, one iconic Maroon 5 concert, and too many nervous stomach episodes to count, quickly turned into a forever thing! From then on, Emmett and Taylor became inseparable. Until Emmett chose the Naval Academy in Annapolis and Taylor, San Diego State University. The odds were stacked against them – two high school sweethearts, living across the country from each other and a military school at that! He left for the Naval Academy Prep School in Rhode Island the summer of 2016. Taylor would wait (IM)patiently for his 5 minute phone call on Sunday afternoons. Sometimes said phone call came and sometimes not. Good times! LOL Over five long years, they dealt with being college athletes along with rigorous school and travel schedules, people questioning/doubting how they would survive the above obstacles, all with a three-hour time difference! They had to rely on old school letter writing, texts, facetimes, and the one spring break a year that Emmett could visit Taylor. What is remarkable about them is their love never wavered. They knew what they had and that was all that mattered to them! Some might call that – soul mates. Fast forward to December 23, 2022 – Emmett and Taylor got engaged! It was everything they wished for and more. 5 ½ years of long distance down and now a lifetime together! They had a quick stint in Pensacola, Florida then moved to Corpus Christi, Texas and now are back in Pace, Florida where Emmett is in flight school for the U.S. Navy. They cannot wait to celebrate their love with all of you! XOXO
