Matt and Taylor both went to Appalachian State University. They were both also born and raised in the triad area with family close by. Though always close, the two had never met until 2018 when Matt lived in Winston-Salem and Taylor had just moved back home from Tennessee. It turned out that one of Matt's best friends and one of Taylor's best friends are a couple that lives together. Matt and Taylor spent a lot of time hanging out with the same friend group for about a year. Over and over, their friends would push the two together. They explained how perfect Matt and Taylor would be as a couple and how their similarities were just out of this world. After about a year of being friendly friends, the two decided to give it a chance... and the rest is history. Matt and Taylor have grown together through the pandemic, supported one another while renovating their house, a move and now a pregnancy. They are expecting a little girl at the end of August 2021! They are a hardworking couple that enjoy spending their time together staying active and pushing eachother both in the gym and outdoors. They are excited for this next journey together and everything else life throws their way.
