Our Wedding - March 14, 2026

Our Story

Adrian had finally found his way to Washington, ready to start fresh in Seattle and build his future. Taylena had been living her entire life in Washington. Neither knew it yet, they were both searching for the same - someone to share their lives with.

Friends from our separate lives encouraged us to try the same dating app. Little did we know, two perfect matches were about to find each other.

December 25th, 2024 - We matched each other online! The best gift either could have asked for at the perfect time, Christmas Day. She took the leap and texted first, sparking a conversation that would change everything, and became the beginning of our forever.

During the holidays, he was in California. Little did we know that our forever was about to begin. After days of texting, Adrian knew he had to meet this lovely woman who had captured his heart through a screen. So he made the journey back to Washington.

January 11th, 2025 - What was meant to be a simple first date stretched into nearly 9 hours and felt like forever. Just an hour and a half into the date, she made the bold move and kissed him first. The very next day, he was the first to say 'I love you.'

The rest, as they say, is history in the making. Now living together and exploring - from Hawaii's beaches to Washington's mountains, Oregon's landscapes to Nevada's deserts and California's sunshine! More states and countries to come! We are writing our story one adventure at a time, and today, we invite you to be part of our next chapter.
