Courtney and Taylor met in art class in high school. Courtney was a junior and Taylor was a Freshmen. They ran into each other and reconnected 8 years later at a local bar Courtney was working at.

Courtney never misses an opening day of baseball for the Baltimore Orioles, and since moving out of Maryland, Taylor could not go back with Courtney for the game in 2021. Taylor recreated opening day in their home; putting on the game, having all ballpark snacks and beverages laid out, and proposed with the ring inside of a hollowed out baseball while they watched the game, with their dog.
