Paul and Taylor first crossed paths in the vibrant Nags Head pub in Covent Garden, London, during the fall of 2017, on a double date with friends. Their connection blossomed over several months filled with unforgettable date nights, from bowling and karaoke to cocktail clubs and boozy brunches. When Paul moved to New York for work, their budding romance faced a difficult turn.

Despite the distance, Paul and Taylor soon realized that being apart was far less fulfilling than being together, even from afar. For the first two years of their official relationship, they endured the challenges of long-distance, with Taylor moving back home to Calgary to pursue her Master’s degree while Paul built his career over two thousand miles away in New York. Though they committed to seeing each other every month, the pandemic stretched those visits to as long as six months apart.

After two years of love from a distance, Taylor moved to New York to pursue her doctorate, and they spent two beautiful years sharing a cozy one-bedroom apartment in Long Island City, Queens. It was during a romantic getaway to Aruba over American Thanksgiving 2023, amidst a breathtaking sunset picnic on Eagle Beach, that Paul proposed, marking an exciting new chapter in their journey together.

Now, after four memorable years in New York, Paul and Taylor have embarked on a new adventure to Halifax, Canada, where Taylor is completing her residency. While both are dedicated to their individual careers, they continue to share a deep passion for travel, having explored eleven countries together so far (and counting!).

Their story is a testament to love that knows no borders, built across countries, time zones, and ambitious pursuits. While their journey has been characterized by movement and change, their unwavering love for each other has always remained constant. It’s unclear yet where they’ll ultimately settle, though one truth stands clear, wherever life takes them, home is wherever they're together.
