The first photo of us together. We had won a competition at work to go see the 49ers (Dylan had barely scraped in, Tara crushed it). While neither of them knew anything about American football, they were learning more about each other. Over the next few months, we went from colleagues, to friends, to LOVERS.

Our first (of many trips). We picked somewhere easy, Cuba! Traveling together can be pretty defining early in a relationship. Despite being detained and questioned upon entry, getting stuck in a sticky situation with black market cigar salesmen, and having the last of our money stolen, a 4-hour drive from the airport, we had a fantastic time. To top it all off, in the midst of a mental breakdown, this is where Tara realized she was in love. Every other trip would be easy.

Although Dylan didn't own many button-ups, he was able to visit Tara's home in Florida and receive the most important approval - from Pepper.

After stumbling upon 'Soul Surfer' during the pandemic, Tara was inspired to move to Hawaii (a place she had never even been)! After a quick gut check call with Dylan and her Mother late one night, the plan was in motion. Dylan was so excited to be able to join.

Tara was finally able to visit Dylan's home in Ireland, meet the family, and get a proper pint of Guinness.

Having decided to move from San Francisco to New York City, they spent 2022 checking off a list they had made of things to do before leaving California. This included everything from visiting Yosemite to running the SF Half Marathon together.

We started our NYC journey eating Chinese food on the floor while watching 'When Harry Met Sally.' It only took 2 months for our furniture to arrive; there were many nights like this.

Romeo joined the family!

Dylan popped the question, and Tara said yes!

After two years in the East Village, we made the pilgrimage across the bridge. We can't wait to host you in our neighborhood! See you soon!
