There’s something magical about love stories that span decades, and Taylor and Toby’s is no exception. From a sweet high school date to a proposal under the stars, their journey is a testament to love that grows and endures.

How It All Began

Taylor and Toby’s story started in Georgia in high school when Toby took Taylor on her first date. While life pulled them in different directions, they stayed connected over the years, keeping in touch through social media and checking in on each other. Little did Taylor know, Toby had been holding a torch for her all along.

A Love Meant to Be

One of Taylor’s favorite memories is hearing just how long Toby had loved her. The first time she spent time with one of Toby’s best friends from their hometown, his friend said, “This has been a long time coming. That man has loved you for so many years.” At their engagement party, Toby’s childhood friends confirmed this sweet sentiment. Their love story, over a decade in the making, is as romantic as it is inspiring.

Life Together

Taylor and Toby share a love for the great outdoors. Whether hiking, golfing, playing tennis, or surfing (Toby’s teaching Taylor!), they cherish time spent in nature. They also enjoy music, with Toby on guitar and Taylor singing during impromptu jam sessions.

Food is another love they share, especially when Toby’s grilling. And let’s not forget their adorable Chiweenie, who’s all about the snuggles.

The Proposal

Toby proposed during a weekend getaway on Sea Island. After dinner, he suggested a walk to see the stars on the beach—a sweet nod to their very first high school date in Georgia. While the sky turned out to be cloudy that night, Toby’s words made it perfect: “Well, I can’t see any stars, and I can’t see living the rest of my life without you. Will you marry me?” Of course, Taylor said yes!

Looking Ahead

As they plan their wedding day, Taylor and Toby are most excited about capturing the love and joy of the occasion. For them, their wedding isn’t just a celebration—it’s the beginning of a new chapter.

The couple is moving to a new city and embarking on an exciting adventure together. “We’re starting out a whole new chapter in more than one way,” Taylor shares. “It’s really exciting to get to do that with the love of your life.” Here’s to Taylor and Toby—a couple whose love story reminds us that some things are truly worth the wait.
