Our story began in 2020, on a summer day at Saylorville Lake. What started as a fun day out on the water quickly turned into a meeting that would change everything. Little did we know, that chance encounter would spark an incredible adventure together. After that day, Taylor kept running into Seth around Ames—at the college bars, where he’d always make it a point to tease her, and she’d always dish it right back. It wasn’t long before Taylor spotted Seth on Tinder. And, of course, it was a match! Her first message read: “Well, well, well. Look who it is.” Seth asked Taylor on a date, and the connection was instant. We were lucky enough to attend Iowa State University together, and even luckier to graduate at the same time. Our journey continued as we blended our lives, bringing together our two dogs, Mabel and Chester. In 2022, we took the leap and bought our first house. Not long after, we welcomed our dog Willa into our family. In May of 2024, Seth made it official and asked Taylor to be his forever at the Iowa Arboretum & Gardens, under the Willow tree—her favorite spot on the grounds. We’re so grateful for every chapter we’ve shared so far, and we can’t wait to see what comes next in this incredible adventure together. Thank you for being a part of this next chapter of our lives! With love and gratitude, Seth & Taylor
