Some moments in life fill your heart to the brim—and this is absolutely one of them. I am beyond thrilled to share the news that my brother is officially engaged! Yes, you read that right—he put a ring on it, and now the countdown is officially on until I get to call someone new my sister. Cue the happy dances, big grins, and a flood of joyful tears!
Watching my brother take this huge step is an experience I’ll never forget. The excitement in our family right now is indescribable. To say we’re all over the moon would be an understatement. Seeing my big brother, Taylor, find his person—someone who makes him laugh harder, smile wider, and live more fully—has been one of the greatest joys of my life. And now, it’s official: he’s found his forever.
I’ve watched Taylor grow through different seasons of life, but never have I seen him as happy, confident, and at peace as he is when he’s with Kristi. Their connection is something truly special. It’s not just about the big romantic gestures (though the proposal certainly had its magic!); it’s about the little things—the way they look at each other, the laughter they share, and the comfort they bring one another just by being together. It’s the kind of love you don’t see every day, and it fills me with so much joy to witness it up close.
Kristi, I can’t even begin to express how lucky we feel to welcome you into our family. From the very first moment we met, you fit right in like you’d always been part of the crew. Your kindness, warmth, and sense of humor make every gathering brighter, and it’s been such a pleasure getting to know you on this journey. I can’t wait until the day it’s official, and I get to call you my sister—not just in spirit, but on paper too!
This next chapter is going to be incredible, and I’m already counting down the days until the wedding. There’s just something so special about watching two people you love find happiness together. I’m excited for the celebrations, the memories, and all the new traditions that are about to begin. But more than anything, I’m grateful to witness this love story unfold and to know that my brother has found someone who makes his world complete.
To Taylor and Kristi—congratulations, you cutie-patooties! I love you both so much and am beyond excited for what’s to come. Here’s to a lifetime of happiness, laughter, and love. 💛💛💛
Let the wedding planning begin!
